High Quality Instruction

Early Warning Indicators

Using the data below, describe all intervention strategies employed by the school to improve the academic performance of students identified by the early warning system.

For the 2025–2026 school year, we will continue our comprehensive attandance plan to address student attendance challenges, particularly those that continue on record form last year. This plan includes Tier 2–3 interventions and proactive family communication, led by the School Counselor, School Social Worker, and Assistant Principal. Attendance records are closely monitored, with the following guidelines: 5 tardies, 5 unexcused absences, or 10 unexcused absences across two marking periods, sending a notification to the parent/guardian via FOCUS email. 

While suspensions are minimal, student behavior is addressed individually. Our MTSS/RtI team collaborates with classroom teachers to prevent and respond to disruptive behaviors. A common challenge has been inconsistent behavior expectations across classrooms, leading to confusion in common areas. To address this, the CHAMPS has been emphasized schoolwide and teachers attended a preplanning meeting that focused on CHAMPS, its purpose, and how to implement it in the classroom, provided by the School Couselor and Assistant Principal. All teachers are expected to implement CHAMPS in their classrooms, and schoolwide CHAMPS expectations are reinforced in hallways, the media center, and the cafeteria.

New this year, our School Counselor, serving as the PBIS designee, implemented a schoolwide incentive program to encourage positive behavior and CHAMPS practice. All students can earn points from any staff member for demonstrating CHAMPS behaviors, being respectful, mindful, responsible, and treating others kindly. Students can redeem these points for rewards at a school store, providing ongoing recognition for positive behavior.

Academic interventions remain a priority, particularly for students scoring Level 1 and Level 2 on ELA or Math FAST assessment. These students participate daily in instruction personalized to address skill gaps. ELA classrooms include small group instruction and differentiated learning centers, including an iReady center. Both Reading and Math students at Levels 1 and 2 receive targeted support, with resource teachers providing push-in and pull-out interventions. Classroom teachers rotate small groups based on student needs and incorporate differentiated centers based on standards and student needs. Resource teachers support students in grades K–5 through interventions in both Reading and Math. Additionally, extended learning opportunities will provide extra learning time for students this year.

Mid-Year Reflection

Progress: Is desired progress being made to accomplish the intended outcome for the Area of Focus by the end of the school year? No
Evidence: Provide evidence of the implementation challenges the school encountered during the Fall semester. Describe the changes made to address these challenges.
During the Fall semester, Lakeside Elementary encountered several implementation challenges while strengthening K–2 literacy instruction. Ensuring consistent and faithful implementation of daily small-group structured literacy lessons across classrooms was an initial challenge, particularly as teachers adjusted to varied student needs and assessment transitions from Early Literacy to Reading between PM1 and PM2. Additionally, teachers needed time to refine instructional groupings as student data evolved. To address these challenges, instructional schedules were adjusted to protect small-group literacy time, ongoing coaching and modeling were provided to support structured literacy practices, and PLCs were used to strengthen collaborative data analysis and alignment of instructional expectations across grade levels.
 
Evidence-based Interventions/Strategies: What was each Intervention/Strategy’s identified strengths and weaknesses?
The evidence-based interventions implemented demonstrated clear strengths and areas for growth. Daily small-group structured literacy lessons focusing on phonemic awareness, phonics, and decoding resulted in measurable gains across all K–2 grade levels. The use of progress monitoring data and running records allowed teachers to group students strategically and deliver differentiated guided reading instruction. High-achieving students benefited from enrichment opportunities using complex, grade-level, and above-grade-level texts that emphasized vocabulary development, inferencing, and critical thinking skills. However, some students requiring more intensive support showed slower rates of progress, indicating a need for additional instructional time and layered interventions. The transition between assessment types also presented challenges in comparing growth across progress monitoring periods.
New Actions: Describe any new actions that are needed to accomplish the intended outcome for the Area of Focus.
To continue progressing toward the intended outcome, Lakeside Elementary will implement additional targeted actions, including increasing the frequency and intensity of interventions for students demonstrating minimal growth and refining small-group sizes to better meet individual needs. Ongoing professional development will focus on strengthening structured literacy and guided reading practices, while enrichment opportunities will be intentionally planned to ensure advanced learners consistently engage in higher-level comprehension tasks. Continued progress monitoring and data-driven instructional adjustments will remain a priority.

Overall, midyear data reflects that the instructional strategies in place are positively impacting student achievement and align with the school’s focus on early literacy development. Growth across all K–2 grade levels highlights the importance of intentional instruction, consistent data analysis, and differentiated support. Sustaining instructional consistency, supporting teacher collaboration, and addressing gaps early will be essential to maintaining momentum and achieving the school’s end-of-year proficiency goals.
