Chronic Absenteeism

Outcomes: 

By the end of the 24-25 SY, we will reduce our school's chronic absenteeism rate from 11% to 9% or fewer students classified as chronically absent, as evidenced by our school's chronic absenteeism data.

Strategy 1

School teams will check attendance data, along with behavior and wellness data, twice a month to find students who need extra help attending school regularly.

Strategy 2

Schools will share attendance information with families in multiple languages throughout the year, to help families understand how important regular attendance is for their child’s success.

Science

Outcomes: 

The Grade 5 Science unadjusted pass rate will increase from 32% to 70% (unadjusted) in the 2024-2025 school year as measured by the end-of-year Standards of Learning (SOL) Science Assessment.

Strategy 1

Give students more time for science lessons and make sure teachers are using the latest FCPS science curriculum.

Strategy 2

Provide teachers with more training to improve their science teaching, no matter what subject they specialize in.

Strategy 3

Give students more chances to learn and use new science words and vocabulary in all their subjects, like reading, math, social studies, and the arts.
