2025-26 School Goals & Funding
2025-26 TSSA PLAN
Goal #1
Students will demonstrate growth in their reading fluency and comprehension skills by the end of the school year.
Grades K-2: Increase students reading on benchmark by 6% between BOY to EOY on the Acadience Reading Composite assessments.
Grades 3-5: 70% of students will reach typical or above typical growth (pathways 3-5) on the Acadience Reading assessment between BOY and EOY.
Academic Area
- Reading
Measurements
This goal will be measured using data collected from the Acadience Reading Benchmark assessment administered to students in grades K-5 three times a year. TheBOY Acadience Reading composite score will be used as a baseline for grades K through 2 and EOY will be used to determine completion of the goal. Acadience Pathways of Progress data will be used for grades 3-5. Progress monitoring assessments and in program data will be used to evaluate growth throughout the year as well.
Action Steps
- Teachers and/or paraeducators will provide Tier 2 small group reading instruction for students requiring targeted reading interventions.
- Classroom teachers, SSL, & principal will meet in PLCs to discuss progress of students and determine next steps for support as needed.
- Increased focus on improving the effectiveness of PLCs
Planned Expenditures
$41698 for paras for small group reading instruction.
$950 for Destiny and Follett licensing to allow students to check out reading materials from school library to increase their reading rate, fluency and comprehension.
$2800 for substitute so teachers can attend a half day "extended PLC meeting" with their grade level team twice a year;
Goal #2
Students will show growth in mathematics and numeracy skills by the end of the school year.
85% of kindergarten students will have 80% or higher overall proficiency in Core Math standards as measured on their GoMath assessments.
68% or more students in grades 1-6 will demonstrate typical growth or more on the EOY iReady Diagnostic assessment.
Academic Area
- Mathematics
Measurements
Success will be measured in kindergarten using the GoMath assessments in their core math program administered throughout the school year. Grades 1-6 will be using the iReady diagnostic assessments administered 3 times a year to measure success towards the goal. Data from the diagnostic assessments will be recorded within the iReady database. This data, along with assessments from Acadience math and the school's math curriculum, will be reviewed regularly in grade-level PLC meetings. These data will be used to guide reteaching, intervention, and retesting efforts as needed to determine the success towards achieving our math goals.
Action Steps
- Effective instructional strategies discussed in PLCs & trainings;
- Teachers effectively instruct with support of technology;
- Teachers administer GoMath unit assessments. iReady Diagnostic assessment given 3 times a years grades 1-6.
- Assessment data analyzed in PLCs to plan reteaching, interventions, & re-testing.

Goal #3
English Learner's proficiency of the English language will increase. North Park School will increase the number of students meeting individual growth targets by 5% based on the WIDA ACCESS test. In 2025, 50% of ELs made their target growth. We hope to increase that progress to 55% of ELs making their target growth goals based on the WIDA ACCESS assessment.
Academic Area
- English Language Arts: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening
Measurements
Student growth will be measured by performance on the WIDA ACCESS assessment administered in Winter 2026. Target growth for each student will be determined by the Adequate Progress Targets tables found on page 22 of the Utah Accountability Technical Manual and in Ellevation.
Action Steps
- Faculty will implement effective strategies to increase students' opportunities to respond to classroom instruction and improve student learning.
- School's EL teacher will participate in PLCs to review growth data with teachers, School Support Leader & principal. EL teacher will also assist teachers with Tier I strategies related to WIDA "Can Do" descriptors and teachers will observe each other's instruction.
Planned Expenditures
- $2430 for subs to allow teachers to observe each other modeling effective instructional practices for ELs
- $398 for general supplies and teaching resources/tools for EL students.
- $500 for ESL Family Engagement activities and events
Goal #4
School will decrease school-wide rates attendance (absenteeism & tardies) by 5% by the end of the 2025-26 school year as compared to the 2024-25 school year.
Academic Area
- Attendance
Measurements
Panorama will be used to collect and analyze students' attendance and "on time" arrivals. Teachers will contact students' parents when a student is absent and there hasn't been any contact with the school. Teacher will identify students for whom they have attendance concerns and notify school teams for plans of support to be created including contact via email or home visits from the teacher(s), counselor, school support leader and/or principal. The counselor will implement and oversee "Check in/Check out" procedures, incentives, or trackers implemented as needed. Counselor will also meet with classroom teachers to identify factors contributing to students' absenteeism and work to help students overcome these factors.
Action Steps

- School principal, counselor, School Support Leader and school teams will review steps to support students who may be struggling to attend school regularly.
- Review student well-being screener to identify students who may show patterns of internalizing behavior that may be related to school absenteeism
Planned Expenditures
- $18,942 to contribute towards the salary of a full-time school counselor
2025-26 SCHOOL LAND TRUST PLAN
Goal #1
Students will demonstrate growth in their reading fluency and comprehension skills by the end of the school year.
This will be measured using the following goals.
Grades K-2: Increase students reading on benchmark by 6% between BOY to EOY on the Acadience Reading Composite score from the BOY to EOY assessments.
Grades 3-5: 70% of our students will reach typical or above growth (pathways 3-5) on the Acadience Reading assessment between BOY and EOY.
These goals will be achieved by May 2026.
Academic Area
- Reading/ ELA
Measurements
School Community Council members identified reading proficiency as an area of critical need. Members reviewed current assessment data as well as data from previous years in creating these reading goals.
Grades K-2: In the 2023-24 school year, students in grades K-2 showed a 4.5% increase in students reading on benchmark from BOY to EOY using the Acadience Reading Composite score. Our goal for the 2025-26 school year is to increase students' reading on benchmark by 6% between BOY to EOY on the Acadience Reading Composite score from the BOY to EOY assessments.
Grades 3-5: 75.3 % of students made typical or above typical progress (Pathways 3-5) on the Acadience Reading assessment in the 2023-24 school year. 63% of students made typical or above typical progress (Pathways 3-5) on the MOY Acadience Reading assessment in the current 2024-25 school year. This is 14% lower than our MOY progress in the previous school year. Our student population has experienced recent enrollment changes that may be impacting our ability to compare data from previous years to the current school year. Therefore, we determined an appropriate stretch goal for the 2025-26 school year is to have 70% of our students reaching typical or above growth (pathways 3-5) on the Acadience Reading assessment between BOY and EOY.
Note: EOY data for the current 2024-25 school year is not available at this time to use as a data point. Therefore, we used the 2023-24 EOY data and 2024-25 MOY data to help us in the creation of these goals.
Action Steps
- We will hire paraprofessionals to teach small group targeted reading interventions. ($54,619.89)
- Paraeducators will teach small groups of students to provide targeted support in areas of need for students as identified using data from Acadience Reading assessment data as well as data from in program reading assessments.
- Progress monitoring assessments will be administered throughout the year to specifically identified students. Reading program assessments will be administered as indicated in the program's instructional manuals.
- Reteaching, interventions, and re-testing instructional plans will be developed during PLC meetings. Plans will be implemented for students scoring below proficiency on Acadience assessments.

Measurements
North Park School Community Council members reviewed current math assessment data as well as data from previous years in creating the school's 2025-26 math goal. In creating the goals, council members also considered the potential for continued increased class sizes of 27 students in kindergarten and first grade classes that have impacted those grades this year.
Success will be measured in kindergarten using the GoMath assessments in their core math program administered throughout the school year.
Grades 1-6 will be using the iReady diagnostic assessments administered 3 times a year to measure success towards the goal. Data from the diagnostic assessments will be recorded within the iReady database. This data, along with assessments from Acadience math and the school's math curriculum, will be reviewed regularly in grade-level PLC meetings. These data will be used to guide reteaching, intervention, and retesting efforts as needed to determine the success towards achieving our math goals.
Action Steps
- Grade level teams will review GoMath and iReady math assessments data as well as data from common formative math assessments as they meet in professional learning communities to develop supports and interventions for students performing below grade level.
