Arkansas Comprehensive School Improvement Plan

2014-2015

The Lonoke School District Mission Statement is to create an environment that provides all students with academic skills and responsible citizenship.

Grade Span: K-2 Title I: Title I Schoolwide School Improvement: SI_4

Table of Contents

Priority 1: Literacy Goal: Students will improve in Comprehension through Vocabulary and Written Response to Informational Texts. Priority 2: Math Goal: Students will improve math skills and vocabulary in the area of problem-solving by verbalizing written responses to open ended questions. Priority 4: Wellness Goal: Students will improve health habits through activity and healthy eating. Priority 5: School Climate

Goal: Allow our students to feel that they belong to part of a safe and supportive learning community by ensuring parental involvement, ESL services, early childhood programs (Pre-K), Character Education development, and new behavior models such as Conscious Discipline.

Priority 1: Literacy

Supporting Data:

1. Based on the 2013-2014 comprehensive needs assessment that reflects an in-depth analysis of student achievement, demographic, and school process data, in

Kindergarten through 2nd grade in all populations in Literacy, Comprehension, Vocabulary and Written Response to Informational Text continues to be a weak

trend. Contributing factors are lack of: students background prior knowledge, implementation for identifying and teaching content vocabulary, differentiated

instructional strategies, informational text for written response, supporting professional development training for staff, and content-focused parent involvement.

Based on the 2013-12 and 2012-11 comprehensive needs assessment that reflect an in depth analysis of student achievement, demographic, and social process

data, in Kindergarten through 2nd grade in all populations in Literacy are the weakest trends.

2. Based on the 2013-2014 as well as the 2012-13 and 2012-11 comprehensive needs assessment that reflects an in-depth analysis of student achievement,

demographic, and school process data, third grade students scored the weakest in Practical reading. Written Response to Informational Text is our weakest

trend. Contributing factors are lack of: exposure to text and background prior knowledge, differentiated instructional strategies and supporting professional

development training for staff, and content-focused parent involvement.

3. Based on the 2013-2014 ITBS Scores, Vocabulary is the weakest trend in both 1st and 2nd grades. Contributing factors are lack of exposure to text, lack of

exposure to differentiated instructional strategies, and lack of content-focuased parent involvement. Based on the 2013-2012 and 2012-11 ITBS Scores,

Vocabulary was the weakest trend in both 1st and 2nd grade.

4.

5.

Goal Students will improve in Comprehension through Vocabulary and Written Response to Informational Texts.

Benchmark There will be an increase in the number of kindergarten, first, and second grade students performing on grade level in reading as measured by ITBS and local assessments.

Benchmark On the 2014 Third grade Literacy Benchmark Exam, our combined student population and all subpopulations will show a decrease of 10% of the number of students not

proficient from 2013-2014.

Intervention: Incorporate various strategies to implement the Comprehensive Literacy Model to structure the crucial components of literacy.

factors are lack of: background prior knowledge, problem solving lessons, consistent process for identifying and teaching verbal written response to open ended

questions, differentiated instructional strategies, supporting professional development training for staff, content-focused parent involvement. Based on the 2011-

males and 38.5% of females are considered Overweight or Obese. Based on the 2012 Report, 30.3% of males and 31.2% of females were Overweight or Obese.

Based on the 2011 Report, 34.5% of males and 35.2% of females were overweight or obese. Contributing factors are lack of: availability of equipment, prior

background knowledge, health education taught in all grades, supporting professional development for staff, and content-focused parent involvement.

2. The 2013-14 Attendance report shows that an average of 394 students were enrolled with a 90% daily attendance rate. This attendance is down from the

previous two years. The 2012-2013 Attendance report shows that 434 students were enrolled with a 96% daily attendance rate, and in 2011-12, attendance rate

average of lifetime alcohol use (45 as opposed to 31.9) and the 10th and 12th grades combined score was higher than the state average lifetime alcohol use (116

as compared to 104.3). Based on the 2012-2013 Arkansas Prevention Needs Assessment (APNA)Student Survey as well as the The 2012-2013 and 2011-2012

surveys reflects an in-depth analysis of Lonoke students' exposure to both legal and illegal substances, the combined scores of both LMS 6th and 8th grade

students showed we scored below the state average of students' lifetime use of Alcohol, Cigarettes, Chewing Tobacco, Marijuana, Hallucinogens, and Cocaine.

Our combined score showed we scored above the state average for students lifetime use of inhalants. The combined scores of both LHS 10th and 12th graders

showed that we scored above the state average in all of the above areas. Contributing factors of LHS students' lifetime substance use could be lack of content-

focused parent involvement and lack of supporting professional development training for staff.

Priority 5: School Climate

Supporting Data:

1. Based on 2013-2014 Office Referrals turned in by Pre K through 2nd grade teachers to the Primary School Principals, there were only 83 office referrals

compared to 83 in 2012-2013, and 99 in 2011-2012. Contributing factors include: Professional Development in Classroom Management for staff, Research

Based Book Studies in grade level meetings, and parent-communication logs.

2. Based on Lonoke Primary School Enrollment in 2013-2014, 394 students were enrolled with a 90% daily attendance rate, up from the previous two years.

3. Based on 2013-2014 sign-in sheets, 134 parents, students and teachers participated in Literacy Parent night and 79 parents, students and teachers participated in

Science Parent Night. The Parent Attendance is up from the two previous years.

4. Based on sign-in sheets, over 81% of LPS students had 1 or more of their parents attend the 2013 LPS Open House in August.

5. In 2013, 46% of the Kindergarten enrollment (52 of 132)attended Pre K, and a total of 59% attended some sort of headstart or day care program. 6 out of 6

Kindergarten teachers agreed that these students did better on the Qualls Pre Assessments including Letter ID, Number ID, Color and Shape Recognition and

Letter Sounds.

Goal Allow our students to feel that they belong to part of a safe and supportive learning community by ensuring parental involvement, ESL services, early childhood programs

(Pre-K), Character Education development, and new behavior models such as Conscious Discipline.

Benchmark There will be a 5% decrease in office referrals due to character education practices, bullying prevention lessons, Conscious Discipline training.

Benchmark At least 80% of our parents report on a survey that they feel like this school adequately involves them in communication and activities provided by the school.

Intervention: Staff, students, and parents work together to reinforce the guiding principles that are the basis of Character Education.
