Haskin Elementary February 2021
"WHERE LEARNING IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!"
At Haskin, we are "Learning Today, Shaping Tomorrow!"
A NOTE FROM MS. GREENACRE
As we begin the month of February, the winter weather has certainly shown up and we are all feeling a little excited about being able to play in the snow, while not looking forward to the bitter cold temperatures that are being forecasted. This time of year always means planning for the rest of one school year and the for the beginning of the next! You will find 2021-2022 registration information, along with other important information, in this newsletter.
Please take time to look through the newsletter. If you have any questions, please contact the school office.
THANK YOU and HAPPY FEBRUARY!
NEWS FROM DISTRICT #430
COGNIA SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
The week of May 10th, Sandwich School District will be conducting an external review with a team of Cognia evaluators. Cognia (formerly AdvancED) is a non-profit, third-party organization that assists schools and districts in their continuous improvement efforts to improve teaching and learning. External reviews take place every five years and are conducted by a team of enthusiastic educators from around the nation. During our five-year improvement cycle, Sandwich Schools have been focusing on the following six improvement priorities:
- Utilize data from a variety of sources to drive purposeful professional development at the district and building level.
- Work continuously to create and formalize a process to document and track our improvement efforts at the district and school levels.
- Create a formal student improvement plan (MTSS) based on a comprehensive evaluation of student support services and programs.
- Evaluate, revise, update, and communicate grading policies and practices throughout the district.
- Work with a safety consultant to continuously improve upon processes and practices at the building level to ensure our students, staff, and stakeholders' safety.
- Work collaboratively with stakeholders to develop and implement a blended and remote learning plan for the 2020-2021 school year based on guidance from the CDC, ISBE, and IDPH.**Priority added Spring of 2020
