School Improvement Plan

Mission: 

Driving Question: How can we create a vibrant and transformative learning community where we actively dismantle barriers and celebrate the cultural wealth of every student so that ALL students feel valued, challenged, and empowered to reach their full potential and share their story of success? 

Essential Questions/Commitments: 

With the support of SELT and TAF foundation, I commit to building an equitable, exceptional, and culturally responsive learning community through PACK values:   

·       Perseverance in Pursuit of Justice - How do we persistently examine, challenge, and transform our educational practices through the framework of culturally responsive PBL to eliminate racial disparities and create engaging rigorous learning experiences that empower all students to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals?  

·       Accountability for Equity - In what ways can we hold ourselves responsible to create and sustain systemic changes that ensure every student, especially those from historically marginalized communities, has genuine access to rigorous PBL learning opportunities and essential resources? 

·       Community of Embracing Multiple Perspectives- How might we build and nurture a learning community that authentically honors diverse traditions, elevates multiple perspectives, and actively engages families as essential partners in their students’ academic and social emotional growth? 

·       Kindness Through Understanding - What practices and conditions are necessary to foster an environment where identities are affirmed, every voice is valued, where kindness guides our interactions, and students feel safe to express their authentic selves while developing deep understanding and respect for others? 

MATH AND READING GOALS: 

By June 2026, 75% of students who are below proficient (Tier 1 and Tier 2) will move one level closer to meeting or exceeding proficiency on SBA. Students within Tier 1 will move to Tier 2. Students within Tier 2 will move to Tier 3. Students within Tier 3 or higher will not move to a lower level.  

 

By June 2026, 75% of students will meet their iReady stretch growth goal in grades 6^th –8^th  

• Subgroups of Black, PI, ML, and IEP/504 students who are 1-2 levels below proficiency will meet their stretch goals
• ALL LTELL students (15 students in grades 7-12 and 6^th grade) who are currently at “close to exit” ML services based on the 2025 WIDA, will exit ML services through the WIDA or SBA assessment.  

 

By June of 2026, 100% of staff will engage in data-based PLC/PBL inquiry cycles quarterly (including 2 interdisciplinary PBL cycles) to plan for and execute rigorous standards-aligned, culturally responsive PBL projects that include small group instruction, intervention,  and extension based on the practices of UDL (universal design) and incorporate the use of multiple data sets (including but not limited to  formative assessments, use of standards aligned rubrics, written reflections on learning, standards aligned deliverables, and IABs). 

• ALL PLC/PBL teams will monitor progress on student learning (including quarterly projects) by regularly bringing student data (level-up data and classroom assessment data) to the MTSS team meetings. 

 

WHOLE CHILD GOAL:

ATTENDANCE GOAL: By the spring of 2026, TAF@SGH will have an average monthly attendance rate of 90%.   

 

b.       Subcategories of PI students and students with IEPs will increase their monthly average attendance to at least 85%. 

 

SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL GOAL: By the spring of 2026; rigorous expectations, engagement, social awareness, and school safety will increase by 5% from fall to spring. We will specifically focus on the following panorama question outcomes for each category. (see below).
