Comprehensive Needs Assessment
Our mission is to provide a safe learning environment for all students with the expectation that all students can and will succeed. Our Vision: "No Boundaries! Think Exemplary!"

Escontrias School opened its doors in 1924 as the first school in the Socorro Independent School District. Our building serves grades 2-5 with an additional building that serves our early childhood students PK-1st. In 2007-2008, Escontrias was presented with a completely new administrative team. Historically, Escontrias had been rated as “Acceptable” by TEA. Through our many initiatives to improve student success, Escontrias received a “Recognized” rating for the 2007-2008 school year and it was our goal to reach “Exemplary” status this 2008-2009 school year which we accomplished.

GOAL 1
Based on the student performance data for 2008-2009, we are setting the following goals for the 2009-2010 school year in an effort to maintain our “Exemplary” status. (Data reflects “All Students”)

Reading:
3rd from 100%-maintain the 100%
4th from 87% to 95%
5th from 95%-maintain the 95%

Fluency: 14% Still Developing to 5% SD
Comprehension: 23% Still Developing to 10% SD

Retention Rates:
This school year we retained a total of 0 students. It is our goal through intensive intervention to maintain this rate.

Our Instructional Leadership Team is committed to providing the support our campus needs to ensure the success of all students. This team is comprised of our curriculum coach, our literacy coaches, our instructional technologists, our counselors, our librarians, our science coach, and our administrative staff. This team works together to support all of our campus initiatives in order for us to reach our academic goals. These initiatives are as follows:

Student Support Lab:
This lab is available before school, during lunch periods, during the school day, and after school to support students with assistance on classroom assignments and tutorial support in areas the classroom teacher has specified. All students can attend the support lab with the recommendation and pass from the teacher. This lab is manned by members of our Instructional Leadership Team as well as our at-risk aide and our title one aide.
A Teacher Resource area is located in our Student Support Lab for teachers to check out additional materials that will enhance their instruction. An additional Teacher Resource Room is located in the 300 hallway.

Tutorials:
Tutorials are offered to students before, during, after school on a regular basis. Data is studied and intervention plans are created in order to develop plans for our tutorial sessions. All other instructional initiatives are designed based on the needs of our students and instruction is adjusted on a consistent basis.

HOPE/Esperanza:
Helping Ourselves to Progress with Excellence is a new initiative this year that will invite parents and identified students to learn software programs that will help them at school and at home. Parents will be asked to attend 10 sessions in order for their children to participate in our Tutoring A La Carte program.

Tutoring A La Carte:
After parents and students have completed their 10 lessons, parents will be eligible to take check out a computer that has software programs that are specific to their child’s academic needs. This computer can go home for an identified period of time so the parents and children can work together to enhance their skills.

Library Support:

AR Program is offered and promoted through various incentives such as:
School dances,
AR classroom trophy,
Pool Party,
Certificates and Awards Silver and Gold Club memberships for parents
RIF Distribution
Book Fair
Weekly Scheduled classes with lessons that correlate with district pacing guides
Reader's Theatre
Family Friday
Principal's Reading Club
Librarian Tutorial Sessions for students struggling with reading

Intervention Pull-Out:
Students are selected by their classroom teacher based on classroom performance, benchmark results and results from common assessments, to receive an extra period of intervention in the area(s) of need. Our curriculum coach and our literary coach provide this extra intervention on a daily basis to target those students' needs.


Fantastic Friday (2nd-5th):
These days serve both students and teachers. Teachers receive staff development/planning opportunities in order to:

-Create lesson plans
-Develop common assessments
-Analyze data
-Plan successful implementation of school initiatives
-Develop intervention plans for struggling students

During this time, students are receiving enrichment activities/lessons with members of our Instructional Leadership Team (Counselors, Nurses, Literacy Coach, Curriculum Coach, Instructional Technologist, Science Coach, Librarian, etc…)

Monday Mania:
Monday Mania is a rotation of students within a grade level and takes place every 4th Monday after our 3-week assessments. The purpose of this day is to be able to reteach concepts that students did not master on their 3-week assessments. The instruction should be delivered with different motivational strategies to motivate the students and reteach the concepts for better understanding. Students will receive a mini-assessment at the end of each rotation to ensure successful learning experiences.

Inclusion (Bilingual and Special Education)
In order to maximize instruction and provide all students with high quality grade level concepts, we utilize the concept of inclusion to the fullest. Our Special Education teachers go into the classrooms and co-teach with the teacher of record in order to meet the needs of all students. This allows for students to be in the general education setting for more than 90% of the time. We also provide this systemic support for our bilingual students who are receiving English instruction. These students are placed in monolingual classrooms and receive support from their bilingual teacher and our group of bilingual substitutes. This provides additional exposure and challenging learning opportunities for them to acquire the second language and maximize their learning experience in the concepts taught.


Accountability Talks:
The Instructional Leadership Team meets with each teacher to review student progress. During these meetings, teachers share student work, results of student assessments, and concerns for individual students. It is during this time that we identify students who need intervention and put support systems in place until the next assessment period. Teachers must bring in student journals, samples of student work and their assessment data already desegregated. In addition to their data, they need to bring individual intervention plans for each student that is not meeting the standard. Walk-throughs are discussed at this time in order to improve instructional practices. Our Teacher Support Team (TST’s) intervention meetings will also take place during these Accountability Talks to ensure that students are receiving the interventions that they need to be successful.

The principal also holds accountability talks with each member of the campus Instructional Leadership Team. The purpose of these talks is to monitor student progress and teacher instruction. It also serves to ensure that intervention is taking place as needed for each child to accomplish a successful learning experience.


Vertical Teams:
This year vertical teams have been initiated so that we can have consistency throughout the school with best practices in all content areas. The vertical teams have been created in the areas of Math, Science, Technology, Reading and Language Arts. These teams develop school-wide initiatives that enhance instruction such as:

Dear Time Reading Word Walls (in classrooms, in the cafeteria, and in main hallway) Concept Boards Reader’s Theater
STAR Testing
UIL-Participation as coaches by all team members
Family Friday
Math Word Walls
Math Problem of the Day
Math Problem of the Week
Math Night
1-minute Math Competition
UIL-Participation as coaches by team members
Book of the Month
Word Wizards
Mad Scientists
May the 4's Be with You- Writing initiative
Mathematicians

The initiatives are proudly displayed throughout the building to enhance learning experiences and to promote our students hard work and efforts.

Attendance:
It is our commitment to encourage and monitor students attendance through the implementation of the following campus initiatives:

Community Field Trips
Weekly Attendance recognition and recognition at monthly PAW Power Assemblies
Free Dress Days
Treats and Recognition after spelling "ATTENDANCE" with a 98% attendance rate on consecutive days.
Daily phone calls to parents to inquire about absences


Book of the Month:
Each month our Reading Vertical team launches our Book of the Month. This is a book that the whole school community reads and reflects on. The book is chosen based on the message it conveys and its relation to our character education curriculum. This activity allows us to come together to share strategies and ideas and gives us a common theme in which to build from. Each classroom teacher is expected to launch the book in their classroom and post reader responses on their walls outside their classrooms which include Language to Literacy charts. Our Reading Vertical Team meets to choose the books each year.



We will enhance students' motivation to achieve through initiatives such as:
-TAKS Buddies (lower grades partnered with TAKS testing students to show their support by providing them with motivational incentives).
-Wishbone Band
-Motivational cheers
-Skits
-TAKS Rallies

We also encourage students to become involved by participating in our Students Working to Advance Technology team (SWAT), Theater Club, Girl Scouts, University Interscholastic League (UIL) and Excellence in Technology District Contest.


GOAL 2
In order to prepare our students for the competitive world around them, we have committed to the following technology goals:

Our goal for technology this year is to have our campus reach a ‘Target Tech’ on the STaR chart survey. STaR chart indicates that our campus was at a ‘Advanced Tech’ level. We will set our goal at 'Target Tech'. We can reach our goals through the implementation of the following expectations:

IWB instruction
Power Point Presentations for each content area taught weekly
Destination Math
Destination Reading
Various software implementation to support student learning
Technology Nights
Reader’s Theater (Technology support with Slide Show back grounds as props)
Celebrations Around the World
Fairy Tale Theater
Tutoring A-La-Carte
TAKScopes
TMSDS
Promethean Planet
Technology Vertical Team
HOPE/Esperanza
Grade Level Newletters
Bull Pup Bulletin


During the 2008-2009 school year, teachers at Escontrias Elementary enhanced student learning in every content area through the use of technology. Technology on our campus is a major component to student success. “Celebrations Around the World” is a campus initiative that the teachers took much pride in. This initiative targets not only the content area of Social Studies, but its end results are technology based projects developed by the students through teacher guidance. In addition, teachers are required to use Advance Technology criteria such as Power Point presentations, multimedia, word processing presentations and research ethics so students can complete projects. Furthermore, all presentations are given orally by the students which address their Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) language objective. The purchasing of Interactive White Boards has definitely contributed to our advancement in technology. The Excellence in Technology Awards honors our students for using a variety of modalities of technology and it is our goal to increase the number of entries and recognized winners at this years’ ET Awards.

GOAL 3
In order to attract and retain a highly qualified teaching staff, the administration is committed to implementing the following strategies:

-Provide a common planning time and weekly professional development support.
-Provide a mentor teacher for new teachers.
-Recognize faculty and staff’s efforts with Perfect Attendance Awards, Monthly Recognition, Teacher of the Week, and the 212 awards.
-Provide professional development opportunities in all content areas as needed after school, during Thrilling Thursday and Fantastic Friday.
-Collaborate with the University of Texas at El Paso, UTEP, to become a partnership school, and host the teacher interns for block 1 and block II.
-Host and facilitate the 6 hour GT update with a book study.
-Utilize the TIPS mentor program to support teachers with 0-3 year’s experience as well as those experienced teachers that might require targeted assistance.
-Utilize our Bilingual subs to assist teachers and students in bilingual classes.
-Support Socorro High School’s ACE Program
-Support and collaborate with UTEP regarding the Interns and the Alterns

GOAL 4
In order to ensure a safe campus for all children, our guidance and counseling department are committed to the following goals:

During the 2007-2008 school year, Escontrias was invited to join Region 19 and become part of the Positive Behavior Support Initiative. Through these efforts, we have created a school-wide discipline plan we call "Paw Power". We have Paw Power Expectations posted in every main area of the school. Teachers have spent the first few weeks of school teaching and reinforcing these expectations. Students are recognized at PAW Power Assemblies each month for Perfect Attendance, Terrific Kids, most AR points, Most Improved, Gold Ticket Recognition (Got Caught Being Safe, Respectful, and Responsible). A school mascot named Wishbone serves to motivate the students and promote school pride. Monthly team meetings will be held to evaluate our program and discuss particular discipline concerns.

We will continue to promote a safe and drug-free environment through our guidance curriculum, Red Ribbon Week, anti-bullying programs, and our Character Traits curriculum. Our counselors work with students daily and even share mini-lessons on the morning announcements daily that promote our PAW POWER initiative (Be Safe! Be Respectful! Be Responsible!).

We will support and maintain a safe school bus environment for all our students and employees by conducting bi-annual bus evacuation drills.

We also encourage students to become involved by participating in our many extra curricular activities:
Theater Club
Chess Club
SWAT team
Volleyball and basketball teams
Watt Watchers Club
Recycling Round-UP Club
GT Summer Camp
Library Club
Book Talks

GOAL 5
Increase parental involvement by reaching out to our community through our parent liaison, our counselors, and our parent volunteer coordinator.

They will continue to provide support to our community with parenting lessons as well as other opportunities for them to get involved in their child’s academic career.

Parent Support Sessions that have been offered:
Family Framework Program/Sessions
Common Courtesy
Effective Discipline Tips
Birth Order
Test-taking Strategies
TAKS Information Nights
Nutrition
Diabetes

Escontrias will continue to communicate with parents through the use of the Rapid Reports system, our monthly newsletter, our webpage, Family Fun Nights, TAKS Talks, Parent/Teacher conferences and Student-led conferences. We will continue to encourage parent involvement through our Career Day, Red-Ribbon Week, Education “Go Get It” Week, Wellness Wednesdays, our Earth Day Celebrations, Family Nights, as well as our Parent Volunteer Program.

Create a hospitable and welcoming atmosphere for students, parents and community members by showcasing and maintaining student highlighted bulletin boards and aquarium.

GOAL 6
This year we are dedicated to increasing the number of students receiving commended performance in all areas. We would like to increase in this area from an average of 50% commended to 70% commended performance overall.

We are also dedicated to bringing about college awareness to all our students. For many, college is not even considered and we want that to change. We will begin with “Education Go-Get-It Week” in August. Students will be exposed to guest speakers from our surrounding colleges as well as guests who have college degrees. Each grade level will be assigned a university to study and learn about throughout the year.

Our Career Day will also support this goal. During this time, students will be introduced to a variety of careers that require a college education. It is our focus and desire to promote the reality that students can and should pursue a college education.

GOAL 7
The administration at Escontrias is dedicated to providing quality facilities that promote learning. The administration meets weekly with the custodial staff to ensure that the building is being maintained to the set expectations. As you walk in the doors of Escontrias you can see right away that there is pride in the maintenance of this school as our floors and windows shine. Classrooms are well maintained as well on a daily basis. Each intersession is dedicated to a thorough cleansing of the building from the floors, to the classrooms, to the paint on all the walls. We have a custodial staff that works together to ensure that this building is ready for students.

There is as much pride on the outside of this building as there is on the inside. Work orders are placed on a regular basis to ensure that the school grounds and classrooms are maintained, and that the painted areas are maintained as well. Our custodial staff begins their day outside sweeping the rocks and sand from the sidewalks and picking up any trash. We are currently getting the outside of our building painted to match the interior.

We are also committed to creating an energy efficient school. Faculty and staff are expected to turn lights off when not in use. There are only two refrigerators on campus, one in the teacher’s lounge and another in the nurse’s office. When our gym is not in use the lights remain off. They are turned back on for our lunch shifts. Our custodian reviews our energy usage and communicates it to others so that we can continue to monitor and adjust accordingly. Our Watt Watchers Club will also help us maintain our goals.

Overall, our goal is to ensure a safe and a quality education for all students at Escontrias Elementary where the community is proud to send their children. We are committed to work together to maintain “Exemplary” and to maintain our AYP status.
