Birch Creek Elementary 2025-2026
Birch Creek Elementary will focus on two goals for the upcoming school year.
Goal #1:
Birch Creek Elementary will work to meet our students' behavioral and emotional needs by extending our half-time counselor position to full-time.
- Our counselor will create goals to meet the needs of all stakeholders at Birch Creek Elementary: individual, classroom, grade level, school, district, and community.
Action Plan:
- Our counselor will provide monthly classroom presentations to all grade levels ($30,325).
- Our counselor will teach specific classroom skills to students who may be struggling, based on information provided by the teacher and/or parents.
- Our counselor will work closely with the district supervisors and peers to follow the district programs.
- Our counselor will work closely with school administration and teachers to determine areas that require support.

Goal #2:
Math: By the middle of 2025-2026 school year, as a school, the median progress towards typical growth will be 55% (or higher) at the MOY i-Ready Diagnostic Assessment.
- We will use Chromebooks to take the iReady Assessment three times this year. Every grade level will also give chapter assessments using the GoMath Curriculum. The principal will collect final scores to determine whether our goal has been met.
Action Plan:
- Students will take the i-Ready Math Assessment 3 times a year. These assessments will help us determine how to group students to meet their instructional needs. PLC teams will meet to guide instruction for reteaching, reinforcing, or enrichment.
- We will use the i-Ready My Path Individualized Learning to address students' learning gaps in mathematics. My-Path License ($5,750).
