PLANNING PROCESS

Needs Assessment
The Campus Improvement Council is composed of representative professional staff, parents of students enrolled at the campus, business representatives and community members. The Campus Improvement Council establishes and reviews campus educational plans, goals, performance objectives, and major classroom instructional programs. An annual Campus Improvement Plan guides this work. The Campus Improvement Plan is based on a comprehensive needs assessment which includes student achievement indicators, disaggregated by all student groups served by the campus. Additional factors such as school processes (e.g., attendance, graduation, tardies, discipline referrals, teacher absences), perception (e.g., staff, parent and community surveys), and demographics (e.g., enrollment trends, staff turnover) are to be considered. The Campus Improvement Plan is to include (TEC Chapter 11, subchapter F, section 11.253): 1. Assessment of academic achievement for each student using the student achievement indicator system. 2. Set campus performance objectives based on the student achievement indicator system, including objectives for special needs populations, including students in special education. 3. Identification of how campus goals will be met for each student. 4. Identification of resources needed to implement the plan. 5. Identification of staff needed to implement the plan. 6. Timelines for reaching goals. 7. Periodic, measureable progress toward the performance objectives. 8. Goals and methods for violence prevention and intervention on campus. 9. Program for encouraging parental involvement. 10. Goals and objectives for a coordinated health program (elementary and middle schools) which is based on student fitness data, student academic performance data, student attendance rates, percentage of students who are educationally disadvantaged that ensures that students participate in moderate to vigorous physical activity. Annual analysis of the plan and review of various assessment data are used to determine objectives that address campus goals. Specific strategies and action steps are developed to address these objectives. This process ensures a commitment to excellence and a resolve to provide the best instructional plan for every student.

Campus Improvement Plan 2010-2011

In establishing campus goals, objectives and strategies for the 2010-2011 campus improvement plan, the following needs assessments were also considered: Nine week, semester and end of the year enrollment report Parent survey results (conducted in spring 2010) Information and feedback gathered in parent meetings Information and feedback gathered in CIC meetings Analysis on Title one money distributed to departments Discipline Data that reflected positive and negative aspects of the 2009-2010 school year.

Involvement Title I Parent Policy Bea Salazar Center 2010-2011

Parental involvement is a key element in the academic success of students. The purpose of the Parental Involvement Policy is to establish guidelines and outline programs for enhancing parental involvement. This policy was developed in conjunction with the stake holders of our school. In order to foster a positive relationship between parents and the schools, general meetings are conducted throughout the school year. These informational meetings include: Parent-Teacher Conferences. A needs assessment will be conducted each year to determine areas that need to be addressed through workshops and meetings and to assess the quality of communication between home and school. These workshops will focus on some of the following topics: math literacy, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS), reading with children, literacy and essential parenting skills. Enhancing communication between school and home is an important goal of the Title I program. In order to inform parents of school events, the schools provide newsletters, websites, flyers and Connect Ed announcements. When possible, information is provided in English and Spanish. Parent/teacher conferences are conducted throughout the year. Translators are available to assist when needed. School staff makes referrals to the school counselor when situations arise. Services through the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District are available to assist families acquire resources needed to help their children be successful in school. Additional information such as the calendar of school events and student handbooks for parents is available at the districts website www.cfbisd.edu.

Campus Improvement Plan 2010-2011

Parents are encouraged to utilize the Parent Resource sections located on our website and in our school libraries. ConnectEd, an automated telephone messaging system, is also used to provide Title I parents with announcements, meeting reminders, attendance, and other pertinent school information. Parent Self Serve is also available via the CFB website to increase parental involvement through access to their childs information regarding grades, attendance, and discipline. The Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District also utilizes Literacy and Math coaches to support the delivery of high quality instructional practices to all students. To attain our goals for parent involvement, we will make every effort to coordinate parent involvement that includes a broad range of programs based on the results and responses of the parent involvement surveys. Various accountability measures are in place to ensure that the needs of students are addressed. In addition, the Parent-School Compact outlines the responsibilities of parents, students, teachers and administrators. The Carrollton-Farmers Branch Student Code of Conduct makes parents and students aware of acceptable behaviors and the consequences when those expectations are violated. Report cards are distributed at the end of each nine weeks, and progress reports are provided in the interim to help parents monitor their childs academic progress. The dates that these are distributed may also be found on at www.cfbisd.edu. Parents are encouraged to meet with teachers to address specific concerns and areas of need. To do this, call the school at 972-968-5900 to schedule a conference. The Title I Parent Involvement Policy will be updated annually and made available for review by parents, staff, and students. The school policy will also be sent home and available at the school for students and parents.
