Goals for Butler Middle School’s CSIP 2021-2022
Attendance Goal:
In the 2021-2022 school year, BMS will aim to have 85% of our students on track each quarter with attendance in all grades and student groups. We define on track as students missing less than 10% (green and yellow).
Behaviors Goal:
Behavior – 85% of students will report feeling connected to school on targeted school climate survey taken at the end each quarter. We will average the percents of the 4 data questions related specifically to connectedness from the survey.
Coursework: Reading (RI) Goal:
- 80% of our students will be proficient or advanced on the Spring 2022 RI in each grade level.
- 5% or less in BB and 15% or less in Basic in each grade level by the end of the school year.
- 80% of our SWD, ELLs, and students in the Below Basic level will grow at least 50 points or one level in the January and April testing windows.
Coursework: Math (MI) Goal:
- 75% of our students will be proficient or advanced on the Spring 2022 MI.
- 5% or less in BB and 20% or less in Basic in each grade level by the end of the school year.
- 75% of our SWD, ELLs, and students in the Below Basic level will grow at least 50 points or one level in the January and April testing windows.
1. Welcome – Introductions (Summer)
2. Approve last meeting minutes (November)
- Summer made a motion to approve the minutes, Doug seconded them and the vote was All in Favor.
3. School Safety (Halley Nelson)
- Safe Walking Route: Concerns:
- The exit turning left onto Bengal Blvd. in the mornings is an issue.
- Crossing Guard across from the Rec Center lights are turned off too soon in the mornings.
- lighting around/near the crosswalk is needed, it’s too dark in the mornings and not safe
- Please stop by the office this week to sign off on the Safe Walking Route.
4. COVID Update (Paula) *Informational
- Number of cases: The SL County Health Department dashboard has us at 38. Students are on the list for 14 days, but only in isolation for 5 days. The county dashboard does not count staff, only student cases.
- Remote Days: The Canyons School Board approved 2 more remote learning Fridays; January 28 and February 4. Our teachers are doing a good job with the Remote Friday assignments. We have a large number of students that are not participating on these days, only about 47% are completing the work.
- Resetting the Count:
5. PTC—March 1-2
- Depending on COVID numbers, appointments will be Online or a hybrid of In-Person and Online.
6. Review TSSP Data from Mid-Year (Paula)
- Attendance (Q1, Q2): Due to Covid we have been well below our goal of 85%. In the 1st Quarter we had an average of 76% of students on track. 2nd Quarter 55% of students on track. That seems really low but we are on average 2% more than all CSD Middle Schools. The numbers don’t look good but as we can see with the MI and RI data the kids are still progressing and learning.
- Behavior/Connectedness Survey: Overall we went from 89% in 1st quarter to 90.5% in 2nd quarter of students reporting they feel connected to school.
- MI testing: The fall numbers are always lower as the test is a “Pre test” of the standards they will learn during the year. With the Winter and Spring tests being more of a “Post Test” of the standards. 2022: Fall, 28% and Winter/Mid Year, 49%.
- RI testing: Mid Year/Winter testing: 2020 – 72%, 2021 – 74% and 2022 – 76% we have continued to see improvement. Seeing good trends in all of the sub groups.
