Comprehensive Needs Assessment
Introduction
The Paso Del Norte Campus Improvement Plan (CIP) is prepared in accordance with requirements of Chapter 11, Subchapter F, of the Texas Education Code, specifically §11.251 and §11.252. These requirements are also contained in SISD policies BQ (Legal) and BQA (Legal).
Our campus improvement plan is developed, evaluated, and revised annually, in accordance with district policy, by the Administration with the assistance of the campus SIT committee. The purpose of the campus improvement plan is to guide campus staff in the improvement of student performance for all student groups in order to attain state standards in respect to academic excellence indicators.
As required by statute the CIP includes the following components:
• Comprehensive Needs Assessment
• Measurable district performance objectives
• Strategies for improvement of student performance
• Description of resources needed to implement identified strategies
• Description of staff responsible for accomplishing each strategy
• Timelines for implementation of each strategy
• Formative evaluation criteria
• Summative evaluation criteria
In developing the 2009-2010 CIP, Paso Del Norte’s SIT Committee comprised of elected members representing all grade levels, along with parents and business representatives, analyzed data sources, met in committee to review the Needs Assessment, proposed Performance Objectives, and will recommend approval in August 2009.
Our Campus Improvement Plan is directly aligned with the DIP.

Paso Del Norte’s present enrollment is 1214. Seven-hundred and eighty-three are coded Economically Disadvantaged, 296 are coded LEP and 88 are coded Special Ed.

The members of the Paso Del Norte School Improvement Team met to complete the annual campus plan to respond to the Superintendent's goals, state standards, campus and community needs, and analyzed data from sources that included: the Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS): TAKS performance in reading, math, science, writing, and social studies disaggregated by student populations that included African American, Hispanic, White, and Economically Disadvantaged. Other data reviewed by SIT included the Title I Adequate Yearly Progress requirements, TAKS-M, TAKS-Alt., TAKS-A results, benchmark assessments, dropout rates for grades 7-8, advanced course/dual enrollment completion, gap analysis as determined by ARMS/ARMI report (closing the achievement gap), and Gold Performance Acknowledgement data indicators. Additionally, the committee reviewed various documents to assess instructional programs addressing the needs of at-risk, career and technology, economically disadvantaged, gifted and talented, immigrant, English language learners, migrant, dyslexia, and special education students.

The selected data sources were analyzed and summarized in order to target the seven district/campus goals. The needs assessment is based on longitudinal and current year data disaggregation of 1) student performance by demographics and ethnicity to align curriculum; 2) technology needs as referenced in technology plan; 3) retention of highly qualified staff and professional development; 4) safe and drug-free learning environment; 5) parental involvement in the learning process; 6) college-ready opportunities; and 7) facilities that optimize the learning environment. Incorporated into the plan are areas for improvement of student performance documented as measurable objectives followed by strategies/activities and/or programs.





Student Findings and Strengths

Goal 1: We will increase the levels of all students’ performance in all grade levels in all TAKS content areas by establishing benchmarks, aligning instructional content, and assessing data to increase student achievement in compliance with No Child Left Behind requirements.
The 2008 PDN campus accountability data reveals that PDN received a rating of “Recognized”; in 2009 PDN again received “Recognized” status.

Paso Del Norte made gains in TAKS. The most notable improvement was in Science, with a gain of 5 percentage points for all student populations and a 5 percentage point gain for economically disadvantaged. Improvement was also noted in grades 3, 4, 5 and 6 in Math performing at 90%, with a decline in 7th grade from 72% to 67% and 8th grade maintaining their achievement of 86%. In all, cumulative gains were 0% for all populations. In Social Studies, PDN maintained a 93%, and in Reading, a gain of 2 percentage points was made by all student populations and remained the same for economically disadvantaged. In Writing, 91% met standard, a decrease of 4 percentage points from 2008. Gains of 5 percentage points in Science for all students were made from 75 percent passing in 2008 to 80 percent in 2009. REVISIONS WILL BE MADE WHEN THE FINAL AEIS REPORT COMES OUT.

Paso Del Norte has set the following expectations in the different content areas for all subgroup populations:
 Reading: from 91% in May 2009 to 95% by May 2010
Mathematics: from 86% in May 2009 to 91% by May 2010;
Science: from 80% in May 2009 to 85% by May 2010;
Writing: from 91% in May 2009 to 97% by May 2010;
Social Studies: from 93% in May 2008 to 95% by May 2009; and

These expectations are set with Paso Del Norte’s expectation of reaching “Exemplary” status in 2010.

The Texas Education Agency’s Office of Accountability and Data Quality indicates that the 2009 preliminary Title I AYP requirements
reflect that Paso Del Norte met AYP in all areas.

Paso Del Norte’s Administration and Dean of Instruction will work closely with the teachers to ensure the performance objectives set forth in the campus improvement plan are met by the end of the school year. By carrying out all proposed intervention strategies, students will reach the campus goals for the 2009-2010 school year.


Paso Del Norte is also committed to maintaining the highest possible educational environment for optimal learning and student success in the following areas:

Goal 2- We will produce 21st Century citizens, competitors, and leaders by expanding, updating, and integrating technology opportunities for our students.
Paso Del Norte is committed to expanding, updating and integrating technology opportunities for all students. Expanded technology opportunities include more access to computer assisted instruction (Destination Math Lab, Scan TEK), student e-mail, interactive lessons via interactive white boards, SWAT, AR, United Streaming and the use of COWs. More IWBs, In-focus machines and computers will be purchased this school year. The goal is to place IWBs and at least 5 stand alone computers in each classroom to create tech stations that bridge from the lab to the classroom.

Goal 3- We will attract, retain, and provide growth opportunities for highly qualified staff.

Paso Del Norte will ensure that our low-income and minority students are taught by “highly qualified” teachers by providing professional development opportunities.

Paso Del Norte will increase the retention rate of all “highly qualified” teachers by conducting campus wide Staff Development training to meet teachers’ needs. In order to reach our expectations for the 2009-2010 school year, the following professional development opportunities will be offered: Balanced Literacy Strategies, Thinking Maps, IIM (Research Model for k-8), “Write from the Beginning,” and AVID. PDN will promote the Teacher Induction Program for Socorro (TIPS) for all new teachers and will offer strong support for all new staff. Paso Del Norte will provide recognition of current employees’ achievements and provide the opportunity for Paso Del Norte employees to enroll their children in our campus.


Paso Del Norte will implement an employee wellness walking program with recognition for those who participate, wellness camps to address stress relief, nutrition and exercise as well as ongoing monthly health promotions. The PTA, with the help of the PE Department, and Health teacher, will coordinate a PDN Field Day for k-8 students. Paso Del Norte will advocate for healthier food options for students, teachers and staff in the cafeteria and will promote the District’s preventive testing and screenings.

Goal 4- We will provide a fiscally responsible, safe and highly efficient Campus environment supportive of student learning.
Paso Del Norte will promote safe and drug free schools through various trainings and presentations including the GREAT program, SRO presentations, Safe & Drug-Free Schools presentations, Anti-gang presentations, stranger danger presentations and a bullying prevention program. Paso Del Norte will again implement the nationally recognized Olweus Bullying Prevention Program (OBPP) in the 2009-2010 school year.



Goal 5- We will improve parental/community involvement by creating effective home-to-school communications and increasing
family learning opportunities.
Paso Del Norte will improve parental/community involvement by creating effective home-to-school communications and increasing family learning opportunities through various methods. All campus administrators will receive training on Section 1118. PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT of No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Paso Del Norte will provide opportunities for parent to visit. They will host parents to discuss roles and functions of district committees and solicit volunteers for each committee. The campus will provide effective communication with parents and will identify and provide for communication needs such as sign language, interpreters and translation equipment. Paso Del Norte’s parent liaison will be part of the Superintendent’s Advisory Committee and this parent representative will be trained in decision making and dissemination of information processes. Additionally, parents will be informed and encouraged to attend the 3 cluster/community meetings for our campus: one prior to the first intersession, one prior to the 2nd intersession and the third meeting before the end of the school year.

Paso Del Norte’s Parent Liaison will increase attendance at Family Frameworks workshops by 5% by offering training sessions to parents at least twice a month, incorporating Family Frameworks into the Even Start Family Literacy parental component, and providing an overview of the program to campus administrators and counselors. Paso Del Norte will increase the membership in its Partners in Education Program in a number of ways including bi-annual meetings and face-to-face contacts with potential new partners. In addition, Paso Del Norte will require appropriate employees to attend the customer service training provided by the district. To measure the effectiveness of the program, a Parent Customer Service Survey will be distributed at the final cluster meeting of the year.


Goal 6- We will provide all students with the opportunity to graduate from high school college-ready and ensure they have the skills to successfully compete in a global economy.
Students’ exposure to college readiness begins upon entering Kindergarten and is continued throughout their school careers. Activities to insure students are adequately exposed to college readiness include a week of focus on college readiness held from Kinder through 8th grade for one week yearly entitled “Education: Go Get it Week” in which Paso Del Norte will have a full week of college readiness activities, all 8th graders are assisted in developing a 5 year graduation plan and our middle school will offer many opportunities for students to earn high school credits.

Parents and students are provided opportunities to receive information regarding Colleges and Universities, Financial Aid and Scholarships. Students have the opportunity to participate in a fully developed G/T program, receive preparation for the AVID program, and information about Mission Early College and Options High School.

In addition, teachers are afforded opportunities to attend summer training institutes for G/T, AVID and Pre-AP insuring that our students have the most highly qualified teachers. Teachers are modeling the importance of continuing their college education by attending college classes in the summer.


Goal 7- We will provide facilities that will support the District’s learning environment.
Paso Del Norte’s maintenance and operational plan will address student facility needs by maintaining clean, safe and comfortable facilities.
