Complete ESSER school funding plan

2022-2023 ESSER III/SIIP At-a-Glance

  • Region 1

  • Tony Washington, Principal

Background: The Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER III) is a federal grant which requires that spending be used in specific areas.  Part of the Fairfax County Public Schools spending plan identifies funding to be used for Unfinished Learning and Student Academic and Social, Emotional, Mental Health (Wellness) Needs.  Schools have been given funding allocations to support the academic and wellness needs of students.  Schools are required to create plans in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Wellness highlighting the strategies they will use to support these areas using their ESSER III funding.  These strategies are shown below.

 

ESSER III English Language Arts Strategies

Outcome: Ensure students are making sufficient progress to be on grade level in English Language Arts.

Goal: 95% of our EL students in 3rd-6th grade, will achieve a passing score on the 2023 Reading SOL. Additionally, 100% of students, scoring at or below the 40th percentile, on the fall iReady assessment will meet their growth target, from the fall screener to the spring screener.

Strategy 1  Students will be engaged in high-quality Tier 1 language arts instruction, that is in alignment with the FCPS Equitable Access to Literacy Plan.

Strategy 2  Use evidence-based literacy practices to explicitly and systematically provide skill-based instruction in the core Language Arts block.

Strategy 3 Staff will implement Tier 1 Scaffolding and Supports and Tier 2 High Frequency Word interventions, according to individual student needs.

ESSER III Mathematics Strategies

Outcome: Ensure students are making sufficient progress to be on grade level in Mathematics.

Goal: 90% of students with disabilities in grades 3-6, will achieve a passing score on the 2023 Math SOL. Additionally, all students, scoring at or below the 40th percentile, on the fall iReady assessment will meet their growth target, from the fall screener to the spring screener.

Strategy 1  Students will be engaged in high-quality Tier 1 instruction, that is in alignment with the FCPS Learning Model.

Strategy 2  Staff will implement Tier 1 Scaffolding and Supports and Tier 2 AVMR interventions, according to individual student needs.

ESSER III Wellness Strategies

Goal: By the end of the 2022-23 school year, as a school, 100% of our students will have increased or maintained their value and respect for self, others, and academics here at Forestville, as measured by the SEL screener.

Strategy 1  Provide activities for students that foster relationships and belonging in order to increase a sense of belonging in the school community.

Strategy 2  Develop Cardinals Care, a SEL Book Exchange program for families and staff. This will provide family members and school staff with resources to support and guide their students through various life experiences. This program will support the home/ school connection and sense of community.

Strategy 3  Strengthen Tier 1 supports for teachers to guide students in managing emotional regulation. This will increase students ability to rise to the school climate expectations which increases academic learning availability.
 

 

Portrait of a Graduate (POG)

Outcome: All students will complete a POG Presentation of Learning (POL) by 2025-26. 

Goal: 100% of students will demonstrate growth in the Portrait of a Graduate attribute, Communicator, based on student self-reflection scored on POG skill rubric given at the beginning and end of the 2022-2023 school year.

Strategy 1  Forestville will build an understanding with students and staff about why POG attributes and skills, specifically the communicator attribute, positively impact students within and beyond the school.

Strategy 2  Schoolwide, staff members will participate in professional development centered around POG attributes.
