Principal's Highlights Elementary School uses multiple strategies as part of our continuous improvement model to support academic and social growth as students and staff strive for excellence. 73% of 3rd graders, 83% of 4th graders, and 84% of 5th graders met or exceeded standards on the reading CRT test, exceeding the district average. 84% of 4th graders and 84% of 5th graders met or exceeded standards on the Math CRT test, exceeding the district average. Teachers trained on the ELA instructional shifts and math practices to realign instruction to the demands of the Nevada Academic Content Standards. All 5th grade teachers participated in the 21st Century Learning Academy Cohort. PTO and EL Cord grant funds supported 21st Century Learning by purchasing mobile laptop carts for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade. Teachers received SIOP training to ensure we meet the needs of all learners, emphasizing high yield strategies for English Language Learners. All teachers are active members of our Professional Learning Communities embracing the Plan-Do-Study- Act model for supporting best practice. Quarterly student recognition assemblies used to motivate students and celebrate academic success and growth. Participation in the Run for Education resulted in grant funds of $1143 used to support our physical education program. Goals and Objectives Goal 1 In reading, implement Common Core Standards while improving the number of students who are staying up and moving up. Objective(s): Increase current reading proficiency rate of 80% to 84% or higher OR reduce the number of non-proficient students by 17% or more. Goal 2 In math, implement Common Core Standards while improving the number of students making adequate growth to a higher target by moving up or staying up. Objective(s): Increase current math proficiency rate of 81% to 84% or higher OR reduce the number of non-proficient students by 14% or more. Goal 3 In reading, target interventions for students who are English Language Learners to increase the proficiency rate and close the achievement gap. Objective(s): Reduce the achievement gap in reading, specific to the special program achievement gap group of LEP, from 20% (50% below the district average of 70%) to 27%.

4 Summary of Standards-Based Test Performance Nevada uses criterion referenced tests (CRTs), Nevada Alternate Assessment (NAA) and the High School Proficiency Exam (HSPE) to measure student achievement relative to Nevada's academic standards. For grade specific assessment results and other assessment information, refer to the Nevada Report Card Website at ED = Percentage of students performing in the lowest range of achievement (Emergent/Developing) AS = Percentage of students performing in the Approaches Standards range of achievement MS = Percentage of students performing in the Meets Standards range of achievement = Percentage of students performing in the highest range of achievement (Exceeds Standards) K-8 Reading Writing Mathematics Science ED AS MS ED AS MS ED AS MS ED AS MS State 19% 19% 37% 25% 49% 18% 23% 10% 19% 25% 44% 13% 18% 22% 41% 20% Washoe 15% 18% 39% 28% 47% 14% 27% 12% 14% 23% 48% 15% 14% 21% 43% 22% 9% 13% 48% 30% 0% 0% 0% 0% 5% 14% 53% 27% 7% 16% 54% 23% Data as of: December 1st Per-Pupil Expenditures The Nevada Department of Education in consultation with In$ite adjusted the formula used to calculate per pupil expenditures beginning with the Annual Reports of Accountability.
