Mill Creek West Elementary
School Board Information
End of Year
As we come to the end of our school year; we are able to reflect on our amazing school year together.
We have been able to teach 315 students this year within just 13 classrooms! Our teachers are dynamic with their planning, execution, and foresite to ability group within their grade level.
We are able to see the results of their hard work with our end of year testing results coming in! Our teachers are rejoicing with parents when children are meeting the goals they have set for themselves.
The teamwork attitude between teachers and parents is also another amazing feature of West. We know that our students' parents are the key to having successful students and we work hard to build and sustain that relationship!
West's RtI
We have found success with our identification, tracking, and parent communication pieces. We have a consistent RtI team (myself, Beth VanSlyke, Sara Gauck, Laura Minor, Stacey Shields, Allie Carpenter, and Kris Needham); we meet weekly to discuss current plans, upcoming plans, and areas we hear of struggling areas in curriculum/teaching. Our identification process begins with our classroom teachers with Tier 1 and Tier 2 identification. Secondly, they recommend students to RtI where the committee begins the brain work of different strategies and support for students. This brain work leads to many options and our RtI coordinator begins the process of parent communication, tracking students takes place each week with different progress monitoring tools, additional communication is done with Mrs. Clements and Kris Needham as needed. Mrs. VanSlyke is also contacting parents at a minimum of 3 times a grading period to keep them updated on goals.
Special Education Superstars!
I receive countless calls from parents and other teachers complimenting these ladies on their dedication to our students. They do what's best for the kids.
