Message from the Principal
Viking Staff,
Viking Faculty and Staff,
It is hard to believe that we have already completed the first six weeks of school and our students have already received progress report #1. In a few weeks, we will be officially going into our fall break. As we continue with our work in supporting our students with building on academic language and polishing the restorative practice skills, let’s be purposeful with our lesson design to incorporate our two areas of focus.
At the end of last school year, a group of us came together and completed a root cause analysis as we reviewed data. We completed the root cause as our school was one of two schools in the district that qualified for CSI (Comprehensive Support Improvement) funding for the 2019-20 school year. Our goal is to assess and improve through data analysis and capacity building. In our root cause analysis, we focused in one area, math. With part of the funding from CSI, we were able to bring in a coach from West Ed to provide support and coaching to the leadership team.
As we continue the work with the SLT team and utilize the Learning Team Cycle, we will focus on our goal that we drafted. We will also take a look and as a PLC decide how to make best use of the Instructional Guides (IG) to continue to incorporate the supports needed to help our students increase in their performance in all core subject areas as shown in the CA Dashboard.
I thank you for the hard work you have been doing, let’s continue to keep moving forward to always offer the best to our students.
