School Site Council (SSC)

Literacy Goal:

• Build student literacy skills in all subject areas through culturally relevant and differentiated teaching practices  to improve the achievement of all students, including the  focal students, AA, Hispanic/Latinx, ELs, and Students with IEP. District’s initiative of Instructional Coherence based on the Core Rubric will be used to guide our teaching practice and student learning outcomes across all content areas. 

Math Goal: 

• In order to improve students' math reasoning, teachers across all content areas will use grade-level aligned strategies that support students in analyzing problems and persevering through problem-solving.

• As a result of increased problem analysis and persistence in solving, we expect Francisco students, including targeted focal populations to make the following progress: standardized assessments of Star Math (Administered three times throughout the year) and the SBAC Math test (Administered annually in the Spring).

Goal 3a. Serving the Whole Child Goal: Improved Attendance

• Increase attendance and Reduce chronic absenteeism school wide and by Focal groups

• Reduce chronic absenteeism schoolwide from 20.8% (in Spring 2024) to 15% in SY 2025-26.

• Create frequent, ongoing opportunities for positive interactions with AA, Multilingual, Families (in addition to our families of color) to build authentic relationships from a space of partnership to help understand and identify the root causes of absenteeism, and potential solutions.  

• Design a universal attendance campaign to incentivize and support all students and families to improve attendance.

Goal 3b. Serving the Whole Child Goal: Increased Sense of Belonging

• Because a physically and emotionally healthy child is a prerequisite for learning, we want to improve and increase a sense of belongingness for students, staff and families by promoting a positive and safe culture and climate.  This includes rebuilding a sense of safety and care in the Francisco community by validating and affirming students, families, and staff members (as they are) through active and authentic partnership in the form of innovative programming, school-wide events (for all), incentives around achievement, behavior, and attendance, and consistent, ongoing communication.
