School Performance Framework
Last week was a wonderful consecutive 5 Days of Appreciating Teachers and all staff for what y'all bring to the campus. This should not just be a 1 week trend but all year long. Kids can not be their best and we can not provide the outstanding educational program that we do without the above and beyond service every teacher brings to the campus each day. We need to keep appreciating y'all all year long and show that appreciation in a meaningful ways.
This week we will have all 3rd, 4th, and 5th Graders take their state exams. Please make sure that their testing environments are positive and kids put forth their very best so the assessment gets an accurate reading and the kids and teachers can achieve what they have worked all year to obtain.
Preston Hollow has an Accomplished Campus Rating this year and next year's rating will be calculated using the same formula:
50% STAAR Student Achievement (Math and Reading 3 - 5, Writing 4th, Science 5th)
30% Campus Effectiveness Index (Growth on TerraNova/Supera, ACP, and STAAR)
5% Campus Climate Survey
5% Parent Survey
5% Student Survey
5% ExtraCurricular Participation
Being an Accomplished Campus allows for greater autonomy on our educational program (having an International Baccalaureate Model), how we schedule our instructional day, and in multiple other areas. In essence, we need to keep performing well so we can keep doing what is being done well :)
Onward!
