SUN School Improvement Plan 24-25

School Improvement Plan 24-25

Our school is chasing positive climate, culture, and a sense of belonging for all. By increasing our positive climate and culture, staff will be excited about instruction and students will have higher engagement. This will lead to higher academic performance, which will open doors for all students.

We commit to:

excellent instruction through universal use of three of our nine LSSD instructional strategies
strengthening the effectiveness of our Collaborative Educator teams
achieving equitable outcomes for each student through effective use of Student Growth Goals

By committing to these things, we will achieve the following:

1. SBA: 69% of the students in grades 3-5 will be at or above grade level on the ELA Smarter Balanced Assessment increasing our average from 59.97%. iReady: Currently 67% of the students at Sunnycrest are one or more grade levels below standard in comprehension of informational text. We will work to decrease this percentage to 50% by the end of the school year.

2. SBA: 66% of the students in grades 3-5 will be at or above grade level on the Math Smarter Balanced Assessment increasing our average from 55.71%. iReady: Currently 73% of the students at Sunnycrest are one or more grade levels below standard in numbers and operations as measured by the iReady diagnostic. We will work to decrease this percentage to 50% by the end of the year.

3. 90% of the fifth grade students will be at or above grade level on the Washington Comprehensive Assessment in Science increasing from 80.98%.

4. Our Panorama data shows that 60% of our students have a strong sense of belonging.We are chasing climate and culture both with staff and students. Our goal is to increase the percentage of sense of belonging to 70%. Additionally, by implementing Tier I expectations consistently across our campus, our goal is 80% of our students have 0-1 office discipline referrals as measured by SWIS.

While student growth at Sunnycrest is important for all students, the number of students attending Sunnycrest that are multilingual learners has grown. As we are implementing the teach 10 and reflect 2 strategy among our small group instruction within our LAP and ML work, we are monitoring the impact of this strategy on our students who are working to learn the English language.

We will monitor our progress during the year through:

Critical review of data, including formative and summative assessments in literacy and math, as well as accessing the progress monitoring tool in iReady. Much of this work will be done through collaborative educator teams.
Administration of iReady Growth Monitoring assessments and SBA interims to use as additional data points.
Our PBIS team will be monitoring and responding to behavior referral data monthly. They present this data to staff and use it to inform changes to systems, and support Tier 1 strategies.
Our behavior team will continue to meet weekly to monitor student referrals, help support behavior intervention, and to suggest/create modifications to fortify Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions.
Quarterly surveys to get staff input on climate and culture will be given and the results shared with staff.

Positive greeting at the door
