      • Adults at school listen to my thinking and understand my concerns.

      • My teachers now my name and know something about me.

      • I have friends at Butler Middle School.

      • I know an adult at school I can talk with if I need help.

    • Coursework Goal: Reading – 80% of our students will be proficient or advanced on Spring 2023 RI in each grade level. All 3 grades are currently at 70+% as of Fall 2022.

    • Coursework Goal: Math – 75% of our students will be proficient or advanced on the Spring 2023 MI. Whole school is at 23% for Fall 2022 data. This test is a starting point, students are not expected to know the info yet and lower scores are expected. The Scores should increase as the skills are taught throughout the school year.
