Richardson Elementary

School Goals 2024-2025

Goal #1: Identity: creating a school identity around being the Ravens: logo, code of conduct, branding, staff and community engagement

Our first goal this year is to make every student feel like they are a part of our Raven Community, and to build a Raven identity where everyone belongs, feels safe, and is connected. We want each student to be proud to say, “I am a Raven!” and understand what it means to be a part of our school family. To achieve this, we will create student-friendly language that explains our school expectations and values, connected to our new Raven logo.

Goal #2: Numeracy: use a research-based approach to instruction (Math Minds)

Our second goal is to develop a solid foundation in numeracy for all elementary students through a structured, sequential program that emphasizes mastery and builds on prior knowledge. Our objective is to ensure every student achieves proficiency in foundational math concepts by following a progressive, scripted curriculum that reinforces skills through continual revision and gradual addition of more complex concepts each year.

Goal #3: Literacy: growing students’ ability to write grammatically correct sentences

In Literacy, our goal is to continue work undertaken in previous years to help students demonstrate growth in their ability to write grammatically correct sentences.  We will monitor progress with a school-wide writing assessment and track data year-to-year. Our objective has been to improve students’ ability to write well-constructed sentences that follow age-appropriate grammar rules and conventions, fostering a strong foundation for clear and effective writing across all grade levels.
