Campus Improvement Plan

2014 – 2015 Board Approved: October 20, 2014

Updated: January 2015

Campus Improvement Plan 2014 ‐ 2015

All academic subjects (ELAR, Math, Science and Social Studies) continue to be areas where improvements are needed. New strategies incorporated into the 2014‐2015 District Improvement Plan to specifically address these areas include:

Increased and improved technology equipment in classrooms, specifically iPad stations in each classroom as well as a set in the library (especially for use in the core curriculum) as well as an iPad mini for ESL teachers to use with their students.

Incorporate scientifically based research strategies that strengthen the core academic programs.

Create and implement at least one learner‐centered unit (PBL) in the Fall semester with at least a 4 in all the H.E.A.T. categories.

Create and implement at least one learner‐centered unit (PBL) in the Spring semester with at least a 5 in all the H.E.A.T. categories.

On the first early‐release for planning day, 9/19/14, teachers met to review PBLs and do collaborative planning.

Provide professional development opportunities in ELAR, math, science, social studies as well as appropriate learning opportunities for special education teachers. The campus principal, kindergarten math coordinator, and kindergarten social studies coordinator attended the TEKS Resource Center Conference in San Antonio on 8/5‐7/2014. Our kindergarten science coordinator will be at Victoria College for a Conoco Phillips (NEED) Project on 9/24/14.

Incorporate activities after school, during Saturday Academy, and during the summer to address the focused needs of struggling students. Tutoring begins on 10/14/14 and will continue every Monday and Tuesday from 3 – 4 p.m. Saturday Academy dates are TBD.

Encourage Kindergarten students to join the Robotics Club, a rigorous K‐12 STEM‐based initiative to enhance our math and science curriculum using a hands‐on approach. The club will meet monthly beginning 9/24/14. Four Kindergarten teachers are leading the initiative.

Decrease Bullying on campus with an October Bullying Awareness Program to be presented during guidance classes throughout the month. Teachers and Staff will wear anti‐bullying t‐shirts once a week in October and once a month thereafter for the remainder of the school year, beginning with Monday, October 6, Blue Shirt Day for National Anti‐Bullying Awareness. (SW10)

Continue safety and security throughout the campus by locking the Pre‐K and Kindergarten hallway doors at 8:05 a.m. (when the tardy bell rings) to force all visitor traffic to the main office where the RAPTOR system will be used to scan the drivers license of each guest and provide a stick‐on picture ID of all visitors as well as a log of the beginning and end time of each visit. COPSYNC will also be installed to alert officers in the event of a campus emergency.
