Review of the 2019/20 School Year Goals to Improve Our School
We will improve student learning by working on the following goals:
Primary Customer: We believe our students are our primary customers.
Values: We are caring and competent members of a team that serves students. Our vision is to simply make people better!
Goal #1: Structure classrooms to be more math minded and incorporating math skills on a regular basis in the class or lessons, including such things as basic score computation and working with fractions and percentages. Teacher will also look for ways to possibly add math into a lesson with assistant from the math department if needed. Each teacher will be observed in a lessons where this is taking place.
Characteristic 4: High Levels of Collaboration and Communication
Goal #2: In an effort to become a trauma informed school, staff will continue to learn and grow in the area of teaching trauma students. Staff members will be willing work as an advocate for the student if requested. Students will be taught when an advocated is needed and made aware of how to request.
Characteristic 8: Supportive Learning Environment
Goal #3: Staff will work together to be accountable for self-care and advocate for each other. Our focus during Professional Development this school year will be to learn more about self-care and fighting the burn out that comes with teaching.

Review of the 2018/19 School Year Goals to Improve Our School
We will improve student learning by working on the following goals:
Primary Customer: We believe our students are our primary customers.
Values: We are caring and competent members of a team that serves students. Our vision is to simply make people better!
Goal #1: Structure classrooms to be more student-driven and less teacher-centered as stated in Washington State Teacher Evaluation Criterion #3 and in the Washington State Learning Standards. Each teacher will be observed in a lessons where this is taking place.
Characteristic 4: Supportive Learning Environment (MET – teachers classrooms are more focused on the student and all teachers have been observed during the year with student-driven lessons)
Goal #2: In an effort to become a trauma informed school, staff will continue to learn and grow in the area of teaching trauma students. We will develop a teacher advocacy program for our students that are dealing with trauma. Staff members will be identified to work with students as an advocate and will let the student know that they are there to listen, allow and teach the student to self-advocate, be persistent with the student, create safeguards, and be a role model for the student.
Characteristic 4: Supportive Learning Environment (IN PROGRESS – we will continue with a variation of this goal for the 2019/20 school year)
Goal #3: In order to monitor and improve school culture, staff will make a focused effort to model appropriate behavior, help students define bullying, harassment, etc., and work to improve the acceptance of the differences in others by demonstrating student-to-student respect. This will be measured by using school climate surveys twice a year, and the counselor and administration will track these types of incidents during the first four months of the year and compare the previous four months.
