TEAGUE MIDDLE SCHOOL

School Improvement Plan 2017-2018

Purpose and Outline of the SIP

2

The SIP is intended to be the primary artifact used by every school with stakeholders to review data, set goals, create an action plan and monitor progress. A corollary at the district level is the District Improvement and Assistance Plan (DIAP), designed to help district leadership make the necessary connections between school and district goals in order to align resources. The Florida Department of Education encourages schools to use the SIP as a “living document” by continually updating, refining and using the plan to guide their work throughout the year.

Supportive Environment

1. Provide the school’s mission statement

The mission of Teague Middle School is to ensure that all students acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to be productive citizens.

2. Provide the school’s vision statement

Teague Middle School will cultivate future ready graduates through a professional, collaborative environment in which all teachers inspire students to be creative and innovative learners

3. Describe how the school works at building positive relationships with families to increase involvement, including efforts to communicate the

school's mission and vision, and keep parents informed of their child's progress.

Teachers and administrators use multiple strategies to contact families, including but not limited to:

• Contacting families prior to the start of school to welcome students to the new school year

• Inviting parents to Open House and curriculum nights to meet teachers and school staff and to learn about the curriculum and how

to support their child academically at home.

• Mail Tiger Prints quarterly newsletter to parents and post on Teague website. The newsletter includes school activities and parenting

tips related to school achievement such as homework tips, organizational skills, and study skills.

• Use multiple genres of social networking to families on a regular basis (e.g. Remind 101, Synervoice, Skyward, Twitter, Facebook,

eCampus)

• The school website and eCampus contains pertinent school/classroom information including the school calendar, links to teacher

websites, links to staff email, as well as a host of helpful resources.

3

• Teachers routinely contact parents on an individual basis to inform them about their child’s progress.

• Parents can keep track of the child's academic progress (grades, attendance, etc.) via the online Skyward Family Access Parent Portal

24/7.

• The school provides parents with report cards regarding their child’s academic progress and upcoming classroom and school events

approximately every nine weeks.

• Parents receive weekly updates regarding school activities via mass email using Skyward Family Access.

• Inviting parents to participate in SAC and PTSA Boards.

• Advertising events on school marquee, school website, Twitter, Facebook and Skyward.

• Teachers have course websites accessible through the eCampus portal. The course websites include assignments, Common Board,

and other instructional resources such as the electronic textbook.

• The guidance department schedules parent-teacher-student conferences, and assists families with connecting to resources in the

community.

4. Describe how the school ensures the social-emotional needs of all students are being met, which may include providing counseling,

mentoring and other pupil services.

Teague has two school counselors who actively participate in parent-teacher conferences, Student Study meetings, MTSS meetings, and

meet with students based upon requests/referrals from students, teachers or parents. The counselors also partner with outside agencies

to bring additional services to students and families. The school provides the services of a full-time mental health counselor from Aspire

who conducts individual and group counseling with students. Teague Middle School has also implemented a student success program call

B.E.S.T. (Behavior and Educational Success Team) that works with students who are in need of additional support with Academic and

Behavioral/Emotional strategies.

Student Transition and Readiness

College and Career Readiness

5. Describe the strategies the school uses to advance college and career awareness, which may include establishing partnerships with

business, industry or community organizations

Teague Middle School will cultivate future ready graduates through a professional, collaborative environment in which all teachers inspire

students to be creative and innovative learners. The implementation of the Program of Exploration entitled “Institute of Innovation @

Teague Middle School” is the foundation upon which our students will become familiar with personal branding, passion projects,

presentations and the executive functions necessary for success in the work place. In addition, the 8th grade students enrolled in the

Institute will be connected with Lake Brantley High School through a Pipeline that will lead them into the Advanced Placement Program at

the high school.

6. Identify the career and technical education programs available to students and industry certifications that may be earned through those

respective programs

Seminole County Public Schools is committed to Career and Technical Education/Vocational opportunities for all students. At Teague

Middle School, through exploratory and elective courses students experience a variety of careers that are designed to support workforce

needs based on economic career predictors. For the 2017-18 school year we offer I-Connect and I-Journey classes providing students the

opportunity to earn digital literacy certifications and high school credits. We also offer a robotics course which implements research,

coding and critical thinking in preparation for competitive events in the STEM arena. Teague Middle School also offers a program of

exploration that has a focus on personal branding, research and problem solving.
