Lee Hill Elementary School

School Improvement Plan 2018-19

 LHES Vision
We will help our lions succeed by working as ONE
to understand, guide, inform, and grow them.
 LHES Mission
The Lee Hill Elementary School faculty and staff are
dedicated to excellence in education. In partnership with
parents, students, and the community, we are committed to
preparing each student to successfully meet the challenges
presented in a global, 21st century society.
About LHES
 Enrollment: 666 students grades K-5
 Fully Accredited
 95% attendance rate
 Student composition: 47% ECD, 9% SWD, 10% ELL
Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA)
The needs assessment serves as the foundation for the school
improvement plan. All strategies and activities in the plan
must be informed by and aligned with the data.
CNA and Domains Analyzed
Areas for Improvement
1. Decline in math pass rates (adjusted 89% to 78%, unadjusted
89% to 78% ), especially for SWD (81% to 38%).
2. Extremely limited data on family and community
engagement. We know how critical this area is and need to
provide focused growth.
Kagan- It’s all about engagement!
“When students are engaged, they pay attention, they're
motivated, they learn more, and the learning sticks.”
LHES SIP Goals
1. By June 2019, grades 3-5 will achieve an unadjusted pass rate of
80% or higher on the Math SOL.
2. By June 2019, Lee Hill Elementary will have full implementation
of Kagan structures evidenced by learning intentions and student
engagement/ opportunities to respond, as measured by classroom
walk through form, present on 90% of walkthroughs.
3. By June 2019, Lee Hill Elementary will increase family and
community engagement to reach participation rates of 75% of
enrolled students, through inclusion of no-cost events, provision
of dinner/ popsicles, and purposeful inclusion of unique groups
(foster parents, grandparents raising grandchildren, bilingual).
LHES SIP document and Implementation
 Please refer to the provided SIP for a review of supporting
data, objectives, tasks, timeline, persons responsible,
required resources, and anticipated results.
Required Resources
Progress Monitoring and Accountability
 Involvement and transparency with relevant stakeholders in
development of SIP and progress monitoring (teachers,
school staff, PTO, parents, division representatives,
community, students as appropriate).
 Bi-weekly meetings with leadership to engage in PDSA.
Sustainability
 Gains in math will be carried over annually with the
retention of teachers and one-time training cost, and
practices in student grouping and delivery of services for
SWD will continue to be supported.
 Kagan materials will remain in the school and a staff culture
and emphasis on student engagement will continue, also
supported through walk-through forms.
 Establishing quality data collection and increasing family and
community engagement will establish community
partnerships to maintain this practice.
Benefits of Proposed SIP
 Improvements in math instruction will increase math
achievement and better prepare our students to be college
and career ready.
 By increasing student engagement for ALL students, we will
demonstrate improvement in across content areas while
increasing access to instruction (through a decrease in
disciplinary referrals).
 An increase in family and community engagement will result
in better outcomes for students academically and socially,
while strengthening relationships between families and the
school.

understand, guide, inform, and
