REQUIRED QUESTIONS

In developing this plan, briefly describe how the school sought advice from various stakeholders (ex. teachers, staff, other school leaders, paraprofessionals, specialized instructional support personnel, parents, community partners and other stakeholders).

The CNA/SIP Team reflects stakeholders from all areas of JD Davis:

Grade Level Chair Teachers—1 per grade level

Media Center Specialist

Counselor

Parent Liaison

Intervention Teacher

Lead SPED Teacher

Academic Coach

Assistant Principal

Principal

Parent

Community Stakeholder

The team met 2-3 times weekly from April-May to analyze data, determine needs, prioritize needs, identify root causes, and create the SIP from input from all stakeholders. Google links with all needed perception data, academic trending data, and additional information were provided to the CNA/SIP Team. The facilitators provided multiple opportunities for group and individual share outs and reflections.

Describe how the school will support efforts to reduce the overuse of discipline practices that remove students from the classroom, specifically addressing the effects on all subgroups of students.

The Team will focus on building relationships with scholars and parents. The teachers will be reacclimated and/or introduced to the PBIS structures of Davis and gain clarity of those structures by maneuvering through the PBIS modules which focus on maximizing classroom structures such as rituals and routine, acknowledgement systems, consequence system for academic engagement, and instructional practices for student engagement.

Elementary Schools Only

Describe how the school will support, coordinate and integrate services with early childhood programs at the school level, including strategies for assisting pre-school children in the transition from early childhood education programs to the elementary school.

Also, describe what supports and/or services will be put into place to support 5th grade students in their transition to middle school.

We will have a designated day to host parents and upcoming kindergarteners to provide opportunities for them to:

meet the teachers

tour the JDD building

receive an overview of the kindergarten program and school-wide expectation

receive a pre-assessment to provide data to be used to plan instruction

Conduct a transition meeting to ensure a seamless process to the elementary school level

To support 5th grade scholars in transitioning to Middle School:

we invite Admin/Faculty from our feeder Middle Schools to come and present an overview of Middle School expectations, curriculum, extra-curricular activities, and provide a Question/Answer Session for our scholars

we offer a Parent Meeting for parents who have scholars moving/transitioning into Middle School

We also host transition meetings to ensure that students’ services are known and transferred easily

In addition, we hold a school-wide Transition Day:

scholars have an opportunity to meet with the teachers of the next grade level, answer questions, and do fun activities to help them in transitioning up to the next grade level.

Middle Schools Only

Describe how the school will support, coordinate and integrate services with elementary schools, including strategies for 5th grade students in the transition from elementary school to middle school.

Also, describe what supports and/or services will be put into place to support 8th grade students in their transition to high school.

N/A

Describe how the school will ensure that enrolled low-income and minority students are not served at disproportionate rates by ineffective, out-of-field or inexperienced teachers.

21 out of 22 of our teachers are highly qualified and certified in their teaching area. We currently have 1 TAPPS Teacher focusing on Special Education Interrelated Services. ALL Davis teachers undergo on-going Professional Development sessions that are provided by district content specialists, consultants, academic coach, teacher leaders, and the principal.
