WA State Board of Education Achievement Index
(2012-2013 data will be available in February 2014)
Increase fluency and mastery of basic math fact skills.
Continue to improve math understanding in the area of problem solving and multi-step problems using a variety of strategies/techniques. Examples may include using content specific vocabulary in written responses, acting out problems or using manipulatives.
MATH GOAL Focus on integrating the Common Core
Mathematical Practice Standards with the Common Core Math Content Standards using grade level appropriate materials.
Track individual student progress using assessment data to differentiate and enhance individual student learning. Continue to use OTE, IXL, and small group instruction, leveled math rotations, targeted instruction and in class math support by Special Services and Title 1 staff.
Leveled Math Rotations
Using Flash Masters, Math Websites, IXL, and Classroom iPads
Problem SolvingWe will improve problem solving math scores by focusing on consistent strategies with help from our math coaches.
We PASSED MSP MATH!
The foundation for staff and student interactions at Greywolf is established through our CARES program. CARES: Cooperation, Attitude, Respect, Effort, and Safety is a belief that the giving or showing of respect and receiving respect in return produce the optimal setting for quality student learning. We also believe that positive connections between our staff and our students and parents increase the success of students at school.
Culture Goal
• Cooperation • Attitude- Positive Attitude • Respectful & Responsible • Effort- Quality Effort in
Work & Behavior • Safety at ALL Times
We will carry on our tradition of recognition assemblies where students earn recognition certificates for academic and behavioral efforts. Examples of certificates available are the Golden Note, Golden Sneaker, and Golden Beaker whole class awards along with individual awards such as CARES, Reading Explorers, IXL, Accelerated Reader, clean desk, and Bucket Filler (kindness) awards. Last year our students earned almost 8,000 awards.
Parent school partnership is a goal for GWE. Currently, 100% of our staff are members of our local PTA. Working with our PTA, we will continue our enrichment assemblies (Family Fun Night, Reading, Math, Movie night, Reptile man) with the focus of building and strengthening school and student partnerships. Our enrichment events historically bring over 1000 parents to Greywolf each year, building a connection between the work of students at school and home.
More Culture Goals
We want students to feel connected to school while learning appropriate social skills with peers and adults. Our school counselor also supports students and families through community programs which help connect our students to agencies that will help them meet their basic health and clothing needs. Students are also offered a Peer Mediation training and implementation program, a kindness campaign, monthly class meetings to teach and support social skills with follow up groups and individual support.
Co-curricular clubs, as well as our after school academic enrichment program OTE, also increases student’s connections to school, we expect over 200 students will participate in these after school activities.
This year all teachers will use Common Core and be evaluated through the Danielson Framework. Grades K, 1, 2, implementing Common Core 100%, and grades 3, 4, 5 implementing Common Core 100% by 2014-2015. Eight certificated staff members will be on a comprehensive evaluation for the 2013-2014 school year, with all teachers completing a comprehensive evaluation by 2017-1018. The remaining staff members are focused on Domain 4, Professional responsibilities, participating in a professional community and team student growth goals.
TPEP & CCSS Goal

Common Core Standards
This year Greywolf will build knowledge through content rich, non-fiction reading. We will strive for a 50-50 balance between fiction/non-fiction instruction. Also, we will be obtaining literary resources/choices that engage males in order to close the gender gap. As we move to align to the Common Core State Standards, Greywolf has put many resources in place including Wolf Den (LAP), K-3 Literacy support, Read-Write (4th & 5th), PDM/District training with District coaches, and Accelerated Reader to support student reading development.
ELA Goal
ELA Common Core Shifts
The ELA Shift
English Language Arts/Literacy
• Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction
• Reading, writing and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational
• Regular practice with complex text and its academic language
Mathematics• Focus is narrowed in
order to maximize depth of learning
• Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics within grades
• Rigor: In major topics pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application with equal intensity
Targeted Instruction for All Students
