Each day our students Begin with the End in Mind: I can do the little things with extraordinary love so that I can live in Heaven forever. Our main focus for our students is to build stewards of God’s love. Our students will embrace their calling to live God’s teaching by reaching their academic potential, serving the needs of others, and being the face of Jesus. From preschool through eighth grade, our students are challenged to make positive contributions to the world through leadership, integrity and service.

15. Plans for 2018-2019

16. School Improvement Goals • The SJOA student perspective and experience related to service will evolve from a focus on “my backyard and community” to awareness of global community or world as students age chronologically. • Within the Vocabulary domain of STAR reading, students will increase the subscore “Vocabulary Building” by 3% annually. • Within the Numbers and Operations domain of STAR Math, students will increase the subscore “Number Sense” by 3% annually. • SJOA will meet all required criteria from the 2016 external review to complete the accreditation process and become an official Leader in Me Lighthouse School.

17. Enrichment at SJOA In the past, it has been common practice to advance students a grade level as a means of enrichment or differentiation. Advancement alone does not necessarily meet the needs of fast or even gifted learners. In addition, high performance on standardized tests does not alone warrant expediting curriculum. Therefore, we are working to establish assurances that warrant expediting curriculum, creating common instructional times to support student movement when needed and equipping elementary classroom teachers with the means to differentiate within the classroom setting. We are also writing curriculum maps aligned to state standards so that we can next vertically align content. Through PLCs (Professional Learning Communities), teachers will share best practices for meeting student needs.

18. Mathematics Progression

19. Budget 2018-2019 • Income sources: 1.) Tuition 2.) Voucher Income 3.) Registration fees • The sum of these sources DOES NOT MEET salary plus benefits. • This budget was “upside down” with a deficit of approximately $250,000. • Losses have accrued over the past 2 years as reported in YE financial reports; the need to address it is NOW. • Re-evaluation of expenses and tuition rates have been considered. • A tuition increase of 4% has been approved but will not address the deficit. • Salaries and benefits are largest expense. Cuts/Cutbacks are essential.

20. Budget Continued Staffing Cutbacks are hard to make. The fact is that more staff are employed than the budget can support. Sadly, cutbacks are necessary to address the deficit. • 2 part time special education teachers (1 full time position) are not returning next year and will not be replaced. • 1 Resource Support position is being eliminated. • With 20+ students who have an ISP plan, we seek to hire someone to conduct case conferences. • Speech, OT and PT services will continue. • Title I will be utilized for students who qualify. • Part time (4th grade) teacher is not returning next year and will be replaced internally. • Based on enrollment, it has been determined that classes large enough to substantiate the additional support of an instructional assistant are TK and grade 4; therefore five instructional assistant positions will be eliminated.

21. Budget Continued • Library will be cut to part-time. • Reception will be eliminated; 3 staff members will rotate to fill. • Textbook adoption will be put on hold. • Classroom and grade level budgets will include only what is necessary. • Budget for marketing will be eliminated. • Work orders will be utilized to prioritize maintenance requests and reduce hiring outside companies. • Coffee service will be suspended. • These adjustments bring the deficit to $98,000.

23. Staffing for 2018-2019 • 2 sections of grades K - 7 • 1 section of TK • 1 section of 8th grade (2 Math classes will be offered.) • 2 teachers for grades K - 4 • 5th grade will have 4 teachers • 6th grade will have 4 or 5 teachers • 7 and 8 grades will have 6 teachers • All Specials will continue to be offered. • Spanish will be expanded to two times weekly for students in grades 5 and 6.

24. Resource for 2018-2019 • Services such as Speech, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy and Psychological testing will still be supported by our current school district, IPS. • Plans to take over our special education program are in the works. Currently, Bishop Chatard High School writes their own plans and conducts their own case conferences. We are in conversations with them about how to do so at SJOA in order to hire a teacher who holds a special education license. • Through Professional Learning Communities, teachers will support one another regarding student learning and prioritize means of offering differentiation within the classroom setting.

25. Annual Fund Update • School Safety - • Convert exterior entries and the entry into the instructional hallway to fob entry. • Equip hallway doors nearest classrooms to lock in accordance with fire code. (8 double doors) • Install landlines into classrooms. Install more phones that access PA system. • Install gate at top of stairwell coming from Lower Level to Floor 1. • Math Manipulatives • Purchase manipulatives to support Envision for primary classrooms. • Purchase games for math pentathlon for primary classrooms and support math bowl team in intermediate grades. (Number Sense Goal) • Technology • Currently no plan in place for rotating purchase of Chromebooks. • Funds to support developing technology plan. (Smart Board for music is top priority.)

27. NYO We will continue to partner with Catholic Charities to provide the NYO program at Saint Joan of Arc. It is run by Catholic Charities on our behalf.

28. Possible Questions • How did we land in this financial position? • Going forward, how do we ensure the budget is balanced? • How will these staffing cuts impact my child? • What about enrollment? • Are there additional ways to help defray the deficit? • As a school community, what can we do and how can we help?
