NEXT STEPS

What do we do next year?What does our future hold?

Next Steps and Plans for the Future

• Investigate an advisor/advisee system to support at-risk students

• More home visits conducted by school personnel

• Solicit additional teacher support for tardy sweep procedures

Next Steps and Plans for the Future

• Attendance/grades/discipline will be tied into privileges to attend dances and extra-curricular activities

• Collaborate with local agencies to improve transition services for students with disabilities

REFLECTIONS

What have we learned?What do our students, staff, families

and community members say?What will we change?

Lessons Learned-Observations-Reflections

• Assistant Principals need to loop with their students through the three/four years in high school

• Immediate action needs to be taken for truancy at day 6

• Consistency on procedures and consequences must be maintained throughout all grade levels
