School Improvement Goals 1998-1999

Our goals are "strategic" in nature and thus remain constant. Action plans for obtaining the goals vary and describe the annual effort.
1. All students will demonstrate our district's Essential Student Learnings prior to graduation.
2. All students will understand that what they accomplish in school adds value to their lives now and in the future.
As a result of last spring's annual review of our Strategic Plan, Sehome decided to review, update, and re-write their action plans and then revise their implementation schedule. This defines their first late arrival day. They are committee to implementing action plans that will result in the ultimate implementation of their strategies. These strategies include the following:
1. Course, unit and lesson outcomes will be developed and implemented in congruence and collaboration with the district's development of Program Outcomes.
2. Specific student activities will be identified and implemented which will allow all students to demonstrate the Essential Student Learnings.
3. Curriculum and activities will be developed and implemented which have meaning and value to students now and in the future.
4. We will create a safe, nurturing school environment for the entire Sehome community.
