Green Benchmark passing is only showing 70% passing for RISE on ELA. 30% of students are scoring a 1 or 2. The new goal is Blue Benchmark for all students because those students are scoring 3 or 4- showing proficiency.
The Acadience test is a norm screener. It is a DOK 1 assessment. Can a student read?
RISE is a DOK 2 assessment. It tracks knowledge and comprehension of a text. State test of proficiency. Benchmark modules are available. Grades 3-5 uses them as a review of curriculum.
- New next year:
Book Vending Machine
Ideas: Students earn a book as a reward. Give every student a book for their birthday. Students use Bear Paws to earn a token.
Monthly Book Club- Meet at lunch to discuss books. Make buttons available for backpacks to show off books read.
- Attendance Goals to help increase attendance
Absences are a nationwide problem and also a big problem at Granite. Incentive for students for meeting attendance goals. Develop a plan/intervention to help students who are chronically absent. Increase awareness to parents.
SCC is interested in attendance by grade, by day of the week, and reason for absence.
- Signature page confirmed and signed at the meeting where approval is passed.
- Review Positive Behavior Plan–prepare to submit.
Vote to approve the Positive Behavior Plan 2025-2026. Stacie Zisakis motioned to approve the plan and Michelle Schmidt seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous.
- Can we lower the temperature requirement for students to be allowed to go outside for recesses? 22 degrees seems high for a state that receives lower temperatures yearly.
Principal Report
- FTE & Staffing
When we include EEC students in the numbers for general classrooms, it adds to our high numbers in some classes. Parents voiced their concerns about having 1 teacher in a grade. Cena discussed these concerns with her boss. We were given 11.5 teachers and Granite will pay for the other .5 as we did this year for a total of 12 teachers.
- Advocacy–Thank you to our community for their support.
- Read-a-thon is going well. Bear Store is every Tuesday except for the last which will be Friday, 3/28.
