School Innovation & Improvement Plan
- 2025-2026
- Bonnie Brae Elementary School
- Region 4
- Morgan Birge, Principal
- Rose Stephens, Assistant Principal
- Natalie Vershaw, Assistant Principal
Reading by 3rd Grade
Outcomes
- The Students With Disabilities in grades K-6 meeting or exceeding VALLSS
screener benchmarks (low risk band) will increase by 5% from fall 2025 to spring 2026 from 52.6% to 57.6%. - The percentage of third graders passing the Reading SOL will increase by 5% (from 76 to 81%), The percentage of students in grades 4-6 passing the Reading SOL will also increase by 5%.
By the end of the 2024-25 school year, the percentage passing the G 3-6 Reading SOL will increase from 81.5% to 86.5% (5% increase).
Strategies:
- Increase the efficiency of instructional delivery to ensure all students have access to both explicit instruction and daily practice in reading and writing (ex. classroom walkthroughs, CT planning, coaching).
- Use data from formative and summative assessments in the core curriculum to guide instructional decisions during tier 1 and tier 2 reading and writing instruction (ex. data dialogues, CT data discussions).
- Increase the use of data to plan tier 3 instruction and monitor progress during intervention to ensure that students master foundational skills (ex. MTSS Schoolwide/Intervention teams, Reading Plans, Walk to Intervention).
Elementary School Mathematics
Outcomes:
- By the end of the 2025-2026 school year, the percentage of students with disabilities passing the Spring 2026 Math SOL will increase from 52.6% to 62.6% (10% increase).
- By the end of the 2025-26 school year, the percentage passing the G 3-6 Mathematics SOL will increase from 80.3% to 85.3% (5% increase).
Desired State per grade level: 3rd Grade: 77.3%, up from 72.3%; 4th Grade: 86%, up from 81%; 5th Grade: 73.5% up from 68.5%; 6th Grade 91.1%, up from 96.1%; 7th Grade 100% (currently 100%).
Strategies:
- Increase teachers' implementation of balanced assessment strategies as related to Shift 8: from looking for correct answers towards revealing student thinking.
- Increase teacher implementation of explicit instruction and other components of effective mathematics intervention.
- Improve the integrity of implementation of core curriculum, and/or intervention programs by using FCPS-adopted resources with fidelity to align with the Framework for Engaging & Student-Centered Mathematics Instruction.
English Language Progress
Outcome:
- By the end of Spring 2026, the percentage of multilingual learners making VDOE WIDA Growth as measured by the WIDA ACCESS will increase by 5%.
Strategies:
- Monitor to ensure all multilingual learners are receiving explicit ELD instruction using the appropriate resources as outlined in ELD guidance documents: elementary (resource 1), middle and high school (resource 2).
- (Elementary) Increase collaboration among grade-level team members, including ESOL teachers, to proactively plan for scaffolds and support for instruction and assessment of multilingual learners that match the students’ English language proficiency (Benchmark Advance iELD and integrated language resources: language objectives, multilingual glossary, etc.).
- Increase the use of language-focused strategies, scaffolds, and supports in content and classroom instruction that match the students’ English language proficiency and promote oral language development and peer to peer interactions."
Chronic Absenteeism
Outcome:
- By June 2026, our school will reduce its chronic absenteeism rate 1.5 percentage points from 8.1% in June 2025 to 6.6% in June 2026.
Strategies:
- Schools will share multilingual attendance materials with families throughout the year to educate families regarding the importance of attendance for school success.
- MTSS Schoolwide and Site Intervention teams analyze attendance along with behavior and wellness data bi-monthly to identify students in need of Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions.
Science
Outcome:
- Students will meet and exceed accreditation in science by earning a 75% unadjusted pass rate, up from 69.9%, on Science SOLs as measured by the current year pass rate (25-26).
Strategies:
- Increase content and/or pedagogy knowledge in science for all teachers (advanced, general, ESOL, special education).
- Utilize a balanced assessment approach, including a variety of formative and summative assessments, to evaluate student progress and inform instruction throughout lessons and units.
- Expand opportunities for students to make connections within and across content areas (writing, math, etc.) and science units."
