What did we learn from our data analysis?
Main take away… scores are strong!
We continue to rank amongst top performing schools in the
area of literacy when measured by ISAT.
ALL grade levels showed increases in NPR for math and
reading on the PSA assessment. RV scores are considerably
higher than district NPR averages.
ELL and IEP students made considerable gains on ISAT as a
result of our push in model and emphasis on core curriculum
for all students.
School growth goals related to ELL and Kindergarden
literacy achievement were met.

Principal Goals
Goal 1 : To continue to build two-way communication and engagement opportunities to maintain
informed and contributing stakeholders.
1. Create Twitter/Facebook/Canvas sites to use as tools towards two way parent communication/interaction.
2. Support the building expectation that all classrooms utilize Canvas as a parent communication tool
3. Collaborate with new SFCP parent committee to develop informational events ( parent evenings, expert speakers,
principal coffees) tied to Ranch View’s Rising Star Indicators. ( GRIT Presentation/What’s Appening Tech Night,
Assessment Presentation)
4. Provide Parent information via principal presentations at monthly Home and School meetings related to Rising
Star indicators (State of Ranch View)
5. Create a New Family Mentoring Program through work with SFCP, matching new families to mentor families for
the purpose of recruitment into the school community and increased communication regarding school
procedures/culture.
6. Recruit parents to present to students on the relationships they see between District Mission Strands, Habits of
Mind traits, and our theme of “Building Grit” and their success in their respective careers.
Principal Goals
Goal 2: To implement a new model of job embedded professional learning to improve teacher efficacy
and student learning.
1. Participate in district PLC training and implement new learning from this professional development.
2. Create schedules and structures for each team to meet weekly to support a team approach model.
3. Utilize teacher PLC leaders and instructional coaches to provide professional development.
4. Provide job embedded PD related to best practice instruction and implementation of new ELA curriculum.
5. Align building based institutes to support all Rising Star Indicators.
6. Provide professional development within a PLC structure every 3 weeks related to best practice instructional
strategies.
7. Implement building based “walk-throughs” to allow staff to observed peers, looking for specific indicators and
examples of best practice instructional strategies
8. Utilize our newly created “Staff Collaboration Center for Student Achievement” in providing embedded PD for all
staff

All 4th graders will be given the CogAT.
Both CogATs and IOWAs will be administered in the spring for selected third and fifth graders.
The winter Performance Series scores will identify the students to test on the CogAT.
Students must score an NPR of 93% on the reading or math portion to be eligible for the CogAT test.
In addition, students currently enrolled in 3rd grade Honors Math will be eligible for the CogAT test.
• If the student scores 125 or above on the respective subtests of the CogAT, that student will be
eligible for the IOWA assessment and placement tests.
• All matrices remain the same this year.
Please direct any questions to Tim Wierenga or Debbie Cota.
