At Arboretum Elementary, we are committed to helping each student reach their full potential. To guide our efforts, our school improvement team meets annually during an activity we call our School Improvement Institute, or SII. During the summer of 2023, a team of teachers, administrators, and other school staff from Arboretum Elementary gathered together at SII to review data and create our School Improvement Plan for the 2023-2024 school year. Operating under the umbrella of our Waunakee Community School District’s strategic priorities, we developed two goals for continuous improvement for the 2023-2024 school year.

• In order to support continued student academic growth, teachers will utilize common formative assessments to inform their teaching and provide additional learning opportunities to ensure students grow in academic achievement and standards. 75% of all students that score below expectations on common formative assessments will show proficiency on their summative assessments.
• In order to become more independent and engaged learners, 95% of students will participate in learning activities that promote growth in self-management, self-awareness, and focused attention.

We believe these two goals will help create an environment where all students can thrive academically and develop as independent learners. To achieve this, we value the support and involvement of parents. Please reach out to your child's teachers to learn more about how you can support learning at home.

With our dedicated staff and engaged families working together, we know we can make great progress to support each student's growth and success this school year!
