SMART GOALS
Based upon analysis of data and Self Evaluation, our focus will be upon the following outcomes: Outcome (1): We will prepare our students to become 21st century students and be able to critically think and problem solve in all areas of their academic program to better prepare
our children for future graduation of high school. Our goal will be to continue to grow in all academic areas as well as to work on developing the whole child by incorporating character and social lessons in to the school setting to improve decision making, confidence and overall institutional achievement. This year the CMS goal for graduation will be a 90% pass rate.
Outcome (2): Increase the number of students in grade K-5 who score above district and state averages in reading instruction. Due to changes in state testing our goal will be to continue to grow at least 15 points above system and state scores on re-aligned state assessments. We also expect 95% of students meeting the standards on assessments in K-2 classrooms. We will continue to focus on growth by using more formative assessment tools at the school level.
Outcome (3): Reduce the gap between our subgroups (ethnic, race, and socio-economic) at JV Washam. At this time we have 80.7% Caucasian, 7.9% African-American, 7.6% Hispanic, 3.9% Asian, 5.5% Multi-Race and 2% American Indian. We also have 22% free and reduced lunch students. Our goal will to reduce all sub group gaps to within 10% points. Our 3 largest racial groups are Caucasian, Hispanic and African-American.

The faculty at Washam is comprised of 49 classroom teachers, 5 full time and 3 half time special area teachers (Art, Music, PE,
Technology, Media), 2 academic facilitators, a media assistant and 15 teacher assistants. The administrative team is comprised of one
principal, one assistant principal and we also have three office secretaries, TD teacher and guidance counselor.
At JV Washam 100% of our staff are fully licensed, but we do not have updated data on those with advanced degrees, national boards
and average years experience. Over the past 2 years we have had a large number of teachers complete their Master Degree programs,
additional certifications and also have joined the ranks of National Board teachers. This year we have also added approximately 17 new
staff members due to growth, retirement, life decisions to stay home with family and natural attrition through moving and leaving the
state. We also lost two staff due to licensure issues.
This year we regained our status of School of Distinction with High Growth in the state of North Carolina with 89.6% of our 3-5 grade
students being considered proficient.
Washam Elementary is supported by involved parents and a supportive community. The PTO and School Leadership Team are well
established and provide tremendous support to the school. Both organizations play vital roles in providing our students a rigorous and
challenging education that promotes high expectations.

Getting teachers to see beyond the computer lab experience and show importance of technology “in” the classroom
Hands on learning with the technology tools in a “risk free” environment to demonstrate best practices
