• Is the master schedule serving all students in a positive fashion? In particular the top students in honors classes and students who are struggling.

• Should there be recommended continuums for elective based courses?

• Are there additional courses which should be offered? (Mandarin Chinese, Computer Science)

Activities and Athletics

• Are the present offerings appropriate or are any changes necessary?

• How many students are participating? Do we need to increase the number of 9th graders participating?

• Is there an improvement on advertising and updating our present clubs and activites?

Technology/Communications

• What are the technology needs of the presentstudents and staff?

• Is additional professional development needed?• Are we doing enough to foster appropriate digital

citizenship as we move forward with technology? In addition helping students learn to utilize technology as productive tools?

• We are utilizing many different systems for helping with instruction and helping with communication. Is any one system working best and do changes need to be considered?

Supportive Systems

• Do our present support systems need improvement and/or is additional programming necessary?

• We have to look at our students who are struggling students.  What programs need to be implemented to help support them?  

• Presently we have a mixed approach to supporting students in all subjects.  Should there be a more comprehensive approach to supporting students or is the present model appropriate?
