Week of September 16

#BeTheLIGHT

HS Art students created motivational art
to be displayed at Baker Koonce!

Our motto for 2019-2020 is "Be the LIGHT".  In order to lead all students to discover their excellence, CISD staff commit to show them the way and be the light for them to see how awesome they are.  The third letter in our LIGHT acronym, G, stands for Grit, Goals and Growth, and I would like to share what it means to us.

In order to reach our goals, which are listed below, we must have a culture that is constantly focused on growth.  Every staff member and every student has a goal for personal improvement, and we will push ourselves and our students to develop the grit needed to reach those goals.  Grit requires commitment, perseverance, and determination to reach any worthwhile goal.

We have established goals for 2019-2020 in the following areas:  academics, early literacy, college and career readiness, and extracurricular organizations.

CISD	Approaches	Meets	Masters
2019 Result	77%	46%	21%
2020 Goal	82%	51%	26%
2019 CCMR Result		87%
2020 CCMR Goal		100%

 

90% of K-2 student will read on  grade level by the end of year.

100% of K-2 students will demonstrate  positive growth in reading and math.

CISD Extracurricular Organizations will strive to become district champions and exceed last year’s performance.
