Executive Summary
LOUISA WEST ELEMENTARY
Mission Statement:
Louisa West Elementary staff will work in partnership with parents and the community to provide a safe environment in which to educate children to be responsible, life-long learners, and active citizens. Our Vision Statement: LWES will challange students to reach their fullest potential. LWES will provide an emotionally and physically safe environment. LWES will communicate achievement and student needs to parents and community.
Needs Assessment:
Parent surveys were sent home in the Spring of 2010 and were used to update the CSIP. Teachers conducted data analysis in October 2010 on MAP and STAR data.
Goals:
The CSIP committee reviewed data from the needs assessment to form tentative goals and strategies for the school's overall achievement. The benchmark area will not accept percentages and in some areas numbers represent percentages.
Evaluation:
The CSIP will be evaluated every three months by the SBDM council. Quarterly reviews will evaluate effectiveness based upon the implementation of the strategies and standardized test data from MAP and STAR.
Stakeholders:
The stakeholders involved include: JoAnn Hurley-principal, CSIP committee (Sally Chapman, Carrie Conway, Matthew Maynard, Miranda Opell, Kristy Sammons, Jenny Smith), all faculty and staff members, parent volunteers, SBDM council-Sally Chapman, Matthew Maynard, Kristy Sammons (teacher representatives), Darlene Staniford, Brandy Preston (parent representatives). Faculty and staff participated in needs assessments and data analysis. CSIP committee developed tentative plan and conducts periodic review of plan. SBDM approves the plan and conducts quarterly review of the plan. Faculty, staff, and parent volunteers help implement the plan. The principal ensures the plan is being implemented.
