| Strength Areas | Growth Areas |
|---|---|
| There is good support for staff from principals and they were highly visible. | Parents report a need for improved mainstreaming communication. There is a lot of communication happening; it just feels disjointed instead of mainstreamed. Communication could be streamlined and more focused. |
| The S-CAP survey showed a positive trend in every category for teachers. Staff teams meet together to discuss different areas. Win time, Bear time, ICAP time provide meaningful programming for students within each building’s schedule. | Ensuring that there’s a parent committee in each building to provide feedback and voice to stakeholders. |
| PD days and common plans provide meaningful discussion and planning utilizing data and school or grade level goals. Monthly newsletter, weekly bulletins to teachers, class Dojo, data binders, character cards are all great tools. | Building staff/leadership seem to be working in silos; tit would be beneficial to work with more cohesion and unity across levels. Staff teams are meeting together but it does not seem bound by a common goal/vision. |
| Passing of the bond and building of the new school shows a positive community support and financial buy-in. | Reviewing the mission/vision and the strategic plan to reinvigorate life into it and to have it guide the systemic change needed in the district. This will also reengage stakeholders. |
