School Improvement Plan
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
OVERVIEW Oakdale Elementary School’s Improvement and Safe School Climate Plan is the result of the work of the School Improvement Team (SIT) as well as the Safe School Climate/Crisis Committee. The teams focused on identifying and prioritizing areas of need for the school which were then used to develop goals and objectives. Strategies for accomplishing each objective and results indicators were defined. Both teams and district administrators will continually review the four year plan. This plan will be used to guide the development of teachers’ professional growth and student learning goals.
