Student Academic Achievement

Student Academic Achievement Summary

Since Kerley is a brand new school, we don't have campus student achievement data yet. This will be collected throughout our first year 2019-2020.However, we are planning to meet the needs of all students through the following:

At Kerley Elementary, we believe it is our job to help students reach their highest potential. It is our job to meet students' needs of both high achieving andstruggling students. When students meet/exceed grade level standards, it is our responsibility to challenge and extend their learning to higher level thinking,as well as real-world application. Power Hour time (intervention/enrichment) provides acceleration/enrichment opportunities for our GT and high achievingstudents. When students struggle, it is our responsibility to provide intervention through small group instruction, reteaching, technology intervention, andfilling any other conceptual gaps.

The Response to Intervention process and committee are in place to support students who struggle. The RTI committee identifies and plans interventions forstudents needing reading, math and/or behavior support. Our intervention Power Hour will provide a designated time for staff to work with students in smallgroups, without students missing core instructional minutes. Teachers will provide additional support during regular core classes to implement Tier 1 andTier 2 intervention. Additional support will also be provided through an intervention teacher pushing in and pulling out, Dyslexia teacher pull-out, SpecialEducation support, and enrichment will be provided to gifted and talented students by a pull-out GT teacher.

School Processes & Programs

School Processes & Programs Summary

Kerley Elementary teachers will believe in providing a safe, welcoming environment to students. Our theme this upcoming year will be "Kerley Cares."Campus wide common area expectations will be modeled by teachers and students throughout the building. KES teachers have assigned duty positions andwill consistently monitor students in all areas of the building.

In order to help ensure the safety of all students and staff, Kerley Elementary will complete and practice the required evacuation, shelter, lockout, and lockdown drills during the 2019-2020 school year. Bus safety lessons and drills will also take place. The Emergency Operation Plan (EOP) has been created forthe 2019-2020 school year.

KES will offer a variety of special education services to students, including Functional Academics/Life Skills and academic resource/inclusion.

KES will complete several activities that promote health and wellness. Staff and students will participate in Red Ribbon Week as well as a career fair. TheHippo Way, district-wide bully prevention and character education program will be implemented and teachers will conduct weekly class meetings with theirstudents. KES will have a full-time nurse (RN) on campus and will participate in the statewide student fitness assessment Fitness Gram in P.E.

School Processes & Programs Strengths

Since Kerley is a brand new campus, these are the processes and program strentgths we plan to create:

Common assessments known as Interim Assessments (IAs) will be administered each nine weeks in grades 3-5. The data collected through IA's willgive teachers information about where to focus their reteaches and instruction in both small and whole group. During PLCs, we will discuss the dataand discuss our focus for providing instruction to our students.

We will have PLCs on Wednesdays; This time provides teachers time to discuss the TEKs in depth, analyze data and determine areas of need acrossthe grade-levels, discuss lesson plans for the coming weeks, and gather ideas to strengthen our instruction.

Power Hour will allow for more small group instruction on the specific skills students need. Teachers will use the data from IAs, classroom tests, anduniversal screeners to decide which intervention or enrichment group children should attend.

Medium-Term Planning: TTeachers in grades Pre-K through 5th will be provided with specific time set aside to sit with their entire teams and mapout the next 9 week time period.

Our campus leadership team will be implementing an observation/feedback process where we will observe teachers and give them feedback on



various skills based on our campus goals. Teachers will be getting immediate feedback in order to create a stronger teaching environment for ourstudents.
