What is EMS doing to work toward our District's Strategic Plan? To view how these strategic actions are measured and to monitor progress, please click here. Notes: This is not a *live* document and will be updated in November 2022; this spreadsheet does not include links to other progress-monitoring measures to protect confidentiality of staff notes.

Student Success (85% of Students Proficient in all Standards by the end of the year): 1: EMS Staff are engaging in short cycles of inquiry based off student achievement data. All teacher teams are using student achievement data to determine an instructional problem, to develop a plan, to study this plan's impact on learning, and to act (adopt, adapt, abandon) on the plan based on new student achievement data. EMS Department, PLC Teams and Grade-level Teams interpret student achievement weekly. 2: EMS Departmental Leadership Teams are systematizing processes to improve classroom instructional practices based on formative data analyses. Each Department PLC Team works through individualized PLC efficacy strategic actions. We are developing the capacity for teachers and teacher teams to implement PDSA cycles of improvement around questions three and four ("How do we respond when students don't know?" and "How will we respond when students already know?") of the DuFour Model PLC and aligned with Tier 1 (for all) proactive instructional methods and T2 in-class instructional routines.

Inclusive and Collaborative Culture (Student, Employee Engagement): 1: EMS continues to develop the ability to consult staff on the decisions which affect their job. This upcoming year, staff disclose their desire for improved cascading communication while meeting less frequently. We will cascade twice weekly through Leadership Team-to-Teacher Team then Leadership Team-to-Administration cascading procedures. To improve staff engagement, staff have also determined sending out principal-led staff agendas at least 24 hours in advance. 2: EMS will focus on "Students treat each other with respect at my school"" which is the lowest-rated indicator within the Student Engagement Survey by a) developing a student-designed peer-nominated Respect Form of which peers will nominate each other when observing "what right looks like" and b) provide results to students through Life classes. Additionally, we will be working to improve cascading communication with students. Our goal is to capture 100% students' voice in a single day by strengthening Administration-to-Life Teacher-to-Life Class communication as well as Student Council-to-Student-to-Administrator communication.

Engaged Families: EMS staff will communicate with families about how well their student is learning at school. EMS will provide families with opportunities to learn PowerSchool ParentPortal to view records of proficiency measures. EMS staff will use ParentSquare to communicate upcoming and past learning opportunities. Our teachers will be sending out notices to families any time their gradebook is updated with recent assessment results as well as weekly with progress reports.

Up-to-Date Buildings and Facilities: At EMS we prioritize student safety and school cleanliness. "My school is clean" is an indicator within the student engagement survey we target to ensure students' perception of our buildings and facilities is a reality. To improve cleanliness, 6th period classes will be responsible to clean a specific space of the school as well as the that period's classroom. We measure to effectiveness of this action through monthly pulse surveys.

Transparent Finances: At EMS a specific agenda item (in weekly staff meetings as well as in monthly parent, Site Council meetings) is to disclose the most up-to-date budget and items which have been recently purchased. Our goal is to show what money is being spent and for which purposes. Although the budget is cascaded weekly to staff, each month the administration and principal's secretary send balances to each department which inform the staff how much money remains in their allocated amounts as well as how much money was spent for students in comparison to staff.

2021-2022 Scorecard

2020-2021 Scorecard

Because we are a targeted school for improvement: administration, families, stakeholders, staff, and students wrote a three-year improvement plan in the 2018-2019 school year. The plan has been adjusted. Please review our school's improvement plan and our focus: Click Here.

The plan linked above is re-mapped to align with the District's Strategic Plan, Envision Estacada 2030, as well as the school's scorecard and pillar goals.
