School Information
Name of Administrator: Matt Patterson
Name of School: Orion Junior High School
Goal # 1
Each goal must promote improved student performance and student academic achievement
Goal #1
Implement a Multiple Tiers of Student Support (MTSS) framework into our school to enhance school climate and support students as measured by these indicators:
Reduce the number of school-wide incidents related to student inappropriate behavior by 10% over the next 2 years.
Increase the number of students participating in after-school enhancement programs by 10% over the next 2 years.
Increase the number of students who respond positively to interventions by 3% each year over the next 5 years.
Goal #1 Action Steps
1 - Right now, we have two student advocates (funded through Trust Lands). We will add 2 additional advocates. Three of these advocates will collaborate directly with each of our three counselors, tracking students and providing support for tracking PBIS intervention data. The fourth advocate will support our English Language Learners class, run our Student Enhancement Activities before school/lunch, assist with testing support, and run our token economy incentive intervention. $37,000
2 - Currently, our options teacher teaches 5 periods. We will expand that to a full time position, offering 2 additional sections of Options in order to reduce class size and provide additional MTSS supports daily. $13,304 (John Fritchle confirmed)
3 - Based on observations of our first year as a one-to-one Chromebook school and current trends in digital devices, we are seeing a lack of student social interactions and interpersonal communication. We will implement a Student Enhancement Activities program for all students before school and during lunch. We will provide ping pong tables, art supplies, board games, spikeball sets, etc. $3,000
4 - Add a mental health specialist (shared cost with cone schools) to provide behavioral and emotional support to students in Tier 3. $4,000
5 - Orion Jr. High’s Students Arts, Culture, and Humanities Center
Purpose: One of the greatest needs of our school and community is to create a space and culture where students, staff, and parents can connect, understand, and have empathy for those they interact with daily and into the future. With a commitment to create a space and culture that will facilitate and promote critical thinking, reasoned discourse, inclusiveness, civility, empathy, and compassion—values that lie at the center of humanistic inquiry and that are essential for students to support and work towards a greater purpose and effort. With a focus on Arts, Culture and Humanities, we want to promote artistic and cultural experiences and preserve artistic and cultural heritage. We will use technology to connect those that use the center with others around the world, provide a stage to perform, airwaves to inform and convince, and a venue for students to record and showcase their stories.
Features include collaborative space, large flat panel interactive TV, Gallery Wall, Video Recording Station, Board Games and Manipulatives, Mindfulness Resources.
We will use survey data from the community to assess the impact this space has on student growth in the following areas: Empathy, Social Skills, Verbal and Written Expression, Expression through Art, Self-Awareness/Mindfulness. $10,000
