Every 2 years Chicago Public Schools revisit their school improvement plan, making changes to guide the work of the next two years. We are at the beginning stages of developing our school improvement plan for the 2018-2020 school year. Surveys will be administered to parents and students, data that is collected will be used to help inform the plan. In addition, teachers will work during grade level teams and on professional development days to help guide the development of the plan.Over the last 2 years we have focused on Curriculum, Balanced Assessment & Grading, Multi-Tiered Systems of Support and Restorative Approaches to Discipline.
