School Improvement

Every school in the State of Kansas is required to have an annual Campus Improvement Plan.  Our plan guides the instructional program at Hyde, and includes goals in the following areas:

Math:  All students will demonstrate growth in mathematical computation skills and problem solving across the curriculum.  Based on analysis of the 2006 State Math Assessment, our goal is that 93.5% of all students will be at the proficient level or above.

Reading:  All students will demonstrate growth in reading comprehension across the curriculum.  Based on analysis of the 2006 State Reading Assessment, our goal is that 94.9% of all students will be at the proficient level or above.

Writing:  All students will demonstrate growth in writing skills across the curriculum based on the Building and District Common Assessments.  Ninety-four percent of all 5th grade students will score at or above the proficient level on the 2007 State Writing Assessment; additionally, the achievement gap will decrease to less than 15% for all subgroups.

These goals are grounded in meeting our school's mission and vision:

Mission

• all students are given the opportunity to reach their full potential when given appropriate instruction, assessment, and an environment enabling them to be lifelong learners and productive citizens in a diverse society.

• all students are equipped to use technology and research skills to apply their learning in meaningful context.

Values and Beliefs

We will...

• teach for understanding and mastery at all times by frequently assessing the quality of students' learning and adjusting instruction to meet students' changing needs.

• connect with our students on a personal level as we seek to meet their academic, social, and emotional needs.
