  12. Good News WOMS received an A or B in 12 of 17 areas WOMS earned an A in student achievement in science and writing WOMS earned an A for students enrolled in advanced coursework WOMS earned another A for the lowest dropout rate: zero. WOMS also earned high B’s in math/Algebra I, social studies/geography/U.S. History WOMS barely missed earning an A for student attendance. Every single geometry student passed state tests, and for the third year in a row, did so at the advanced level.

  13. Areas of Focus • While the school received a B in terms of learning growth by students overall, we need to improve the growth in learning for students who scored in the bottom 25% on state tests. • Our attendance was 93.8%, but we need 94% to score an A, which counts for 90% of whole school performance.

  14. What’s the plan?

  15. Bottom 25% • Identify students who scored limited knowledge or unsatisfactory • Through continuous monitoring and assessments, we determine the issue or area of concern. • Based on data, we implement specific interventions (i.e. reading or math elective, differentiated instruction, specific HOST class based on which skill student needs, etc.) • Extend learning through after school clubs • Daily academic vocabulary practice • More DGP through all English classes • Technology rich instruction • Student Ownership – Benchmark Data will be reviewed and students will be able to see their strengths and where they need to improve

  16. Incentives for Attendance • Awareness & Communication • Continue our weekly 100% Wednesday Competition • BRAG Day • Random Incentives (gift cards, Thunder tickets, coupons at local eateries, etc.) • Parent phone calls through the automated system, and a personal phone call • Home Visits • Recognition at assemblies • Youth Cornerstone

  17. How can you help? • Students are at school on time and stay at school. • Keep in touch with teachers. • Check Grades Online • Provide a place and time for homework. • Talk to your student about school everyday. • Volunteer • Complete the parent survey.

  18. How can you help? • READ “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” ― Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!
