2016-17 Silver Mesa CSIP (Continuous School Improvement Plan): Principal Fielding reviewed the CSIP with the committee.

CSIP Literacy Goal: By May of 2017, 80% of students will demonstrate mastery of core standards in English Language Arts (ELA) as measured by DIBELSnet assessment data for grades K-2. In grades 3-5, 62% of students will demonstrate mastery of core standards in ELA as measured by Utah’s SAGE assessment. In the spring of 2015, 77% of our students were at mastery as measured by the comparable assessment (AIMSweb). Students in grades 3-5 scored 59% proficient on SAGE.

·  DIBELSnet is a new assessment for the 2016-17 academic year that replaces AIMSweb.

·  Budget includes: $19,050 for hiring 2 Tier 2 Interventionists (para-professionals); $700 for Moby Max licenses for all students; $7,000 technology for use in skill-based instruction

CSIP Math and Science (STEM) Goal: By May of 2017, 80% of students in kindergarten through 2nd grade will demonstrate mastery of core standards in math as measured by the DIBELSnet assessments. In grades 3-5, 60% of students will demonstrate mastery of core standards in Math as measured by SAGE assessments. In May of 2015, students in k-3 scored 88% on benchmark on a comparable assessment (AIMSweb). Students in grades 3-5 scored 53% proficient on SAGE.

·  DIBELSnet is a new assessment for the 2016-17 academic year that replaces AIMSweb.

·  Budget includes: $12,500 for Tier 2 Interventionists; $700 Moby Max licenses for all students

Budget in General: In the past the SCC has discussed the possibility of hiring a volunteer coordinator that would coordinate community members to volunteer as para-professionals. The rationale was that this new position would defray costs from hiring para professionals. The committee agreed to table the discussion and not consider hiring a volunteer coordinator, for this year.

For Monday Minute:

·  Provide parents with information on how to re-set Moby Max. Several students have been misplaced level-wise due to “help” during placement tests.

·  Crossing guards are working very hard – it was suggested that a little blurb on them as people may be helpful to remind families that the crossing gaurds are people and a much needed help for the safety of Silver Mesa’s students.

·  CC update blub at least 4x a year(?) – topics may include – what we do and who we are as the SCC, jog-a-thon update in general, all parents are welcome to meetings, current level of technology in the classrooms may be an ongoing theme
