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.
| This school year our school’s learning focus is: | For the 2025/2026 school year our school’s learning focus is on improving literacy skills throughout all subject areas. |
| The data that supports the need for this school learning focus is: | For the past few years, we have been focusing on building the literacy skills of our emergent learners in Language Arts. We have seen growth in this area and are looking to continue supporting literacy skills in English Language learning settings as well as expand our student’s literacy capacity in Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. |
| Actions that the school will take to achieve the goals of our school learning focus include: | To look deeper into our hunch of needing a cross curricular approach to our literacy support we started the year by assessing students knowledge and ability to use literacy skills such as decoding and comprehension skills to understand and create meaning. |
| The intention of these actions is to make the following difference(s) for learners: | Using the information collected, teachers will be able to tailor their literacy instruction to meet the students where they are and focus on areas of need. |
| We will know our actions are making a difference when we have data that demonstrates the following: | Having specific literacy skills as a focus in the classroom will allow teachers to practice that skill or skills throughout the school year in different subject areas. We will know our actions are making a difference through ongoing assessment by the classroom teacher throughout the year and reassessing the overall literacy skills again later in the school year. |
