This section outlines our school’s key areas of focus. It reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and responds to the evolving needs of our students. Whether centered on student engagement, social-emotional well-being, or academic growth, our focus guides our learning journey and informs the strategies we implement throughout the year.

Focus on Numeracy 2025-26

What does our data tell us?

Through examining the FSA data for the district and our school, as well as Report Card proficiency data from K-7 and the Learning Satisfaction Survey Data, we’ve concluded that our population requires additional teaching and learning strategies to support the area of numeracy.

For the 2025-2026 school year, we will shift to a school-wide focus on numeracy, specifically number sense and computational thinking. With this focus, our goal is to collectively build student capacity in numeracy and further develop how students see themselves as mathematical learners.

To Support Professional Learning:

• Staff will look at our current data sets and determine where we need to focus our work
• District Numeracy Consultants will be available to support staff in planning, instruction, reflection, and assessment.
• Lunch and after-school sessions will be held to support professional learning.
• Professional Development Days - Focus on developing professional growth in mathematics instruction (planning, differentiation, routines, assessment)

Guiding Questions:

What instructional strategies or routines can we use to develop computational fluency?

How can we use materials to support students’ exploration and representation of computational fluency concepts?

How might we support the use of mathematical language and vocabulary?

How might we differentiate numeracy lessons to meet the needs of all learners?

How can we encourage flexible ways of knowing and assessing?

Here, we present the data and observations that shape our understanding of student learning and well-being. Through assessments, classroom observations, and staff reflections, we gather meaningful insights that help us track progress, and ensure that our approaches are making a difference for students.

This section highlights the concrete steps we take to support our school’s learning goals. From instructional strategies to school-wide initiatives, we document the ways we put our focus into practice. By fostering a collaborative approach, we ensure that our actions lead to meaningful improvements in student success and well-being.
