School Improvement Plan

Senior Leadership teams use a School Improvement Plan (SIP) as their main source of information to outline their strategic plans for the growth of their school. A school's stated principles will serve as the foundation for a school improvement plan, which outlines the steps and resources required to accomplish the goals.

Mission and Vision Statement

To prepare and empower every student to reach their full potential and to thrive in school, society, work, and life. The Puyallup School District values academic excellence and ensures every student learns in safe and supportive environments to develop as critical thinkers ready to take on the world.

Our objectives to continue to build our culture of equity: 

  1. Create a sense of belonging in a safe and nurturing environment in which everyone is respected and valued. 
  2. Increase awareness of ourselves, our school community, and the world.

School Improvement Plan Goals

Goal #1

By the end of the 2025-2026 school year, the percentage of students attending consistently (missing two or fewer days per month) will increase from 77.1% (EOY 2025) to 82%. This will be achieved by fostering a positive attendance culture through regular celebration of good attendance, proactive and culturally responsive family outreach, and collaboration with community partners to identify and reduce barriers to regular attendance.

  • Distribute monthly attendance progress reports to families of students meeting the chronic absenteeism threshold 
  • Teacher to family communication after a student misses two consecutive days 
  • Implement School wide attendance incentive program 

Goal #2

By the end of the school year, increase our DIBELS scores for K-2 from an average of 55% meeting benchmark to 75% meeting benchmark. By the end of the school year increase our STAR reading scores for 3rd-6th grade from an average of 53% meeting benchmark to 58% meeting benchmark. 

  • Teachers use district provided curriculum with fidelity, following provided pacing guides and common assessments. 
  • Teacher progress monitor students aside from the benchmark testing 
  • CKLA coaching and Tier l + coaching for interventionists 

Goal #3

By the end of the school year, increase students' sense of belonging through consistent implementation of PBIS and MTSS practices that promote positive student behavior, engagement, and connection to school. At the EOY 2025 19% of students participated in at least one school-based leadership role or extracurricular activity outside of the school day. By June 2026, increase student participation in leadership and extracurricular activities to 25%.

  • Continue to foster authentic positive relationships with students and families 
  • Classroom community circles 
  • Support staff in encouraging and monitoring student participation
