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: All students in grades Pre K-5 will make a year or more of progress as measured by the PALs, iReady, and ORF.

Strategy 1

All students in grades K-5 will receive daily whole group (tier 1) lessons on phonemic awareness, phonics, and word study in order to build their word recognition skills.

Strategy 2

Explicitly teach high level language skills (inferencing, comprehension monitoring, and awareness of text structure) via interactive read alouds of complex texts.

Strategy 3

Provide Tier 2 instruction as preventative intervention that  targets the underlying difficulty impacting the student’s progress in literacy.

 

ESSER III Mathematics Strategies

Outcome:

  • By June 2023, Students in grades K-5 will make at least one year’s growth in math on the appropriate grade level growth measuring assessments (EMAS, iReady, VGA, and SOLs).
  • By June 2023, 80% of all K students will meet benchmark according to the EMAS assessment of the VKRP.
  • By June 2023, 100% of students in grades 1-2 will make a year’s worth of growth as measured by the Universal Screener in the domain of Number and Operations. 
  • By June 2023, the percentage of students in grades 3-5 passing the Spring Math SOL will increase to 70% on the unadjusted score results.

Strategy 1

We will strengthen Tier I instruction in Math across grades K-5 through continued implementation of Math Workshop.

Strategy 2

We will build the capacity of our students during small group instruction with deliberate focus on differentiated support to close the learning gaps.

Strategy 3

Math concepts and vocabulary will be scaffolded to meet the academic language acquisition for all students.

 

Teaching social awareness and building empathy for each other (cultures, race, ethnicity, disabilities, differences, etc.) through various resources.

Strategy 3

Improve Overall Student Climate

 

Background: All Fairfax County schools are also required to complete an access and opportunity goal as part of their School Innovation and Improvement Plan (SIIP) and can also capture additional goals.  These are shown below.

Access & Opportunity End of Year SMARTR Outcome

Goal:

By the end of SY 2022-23, 100% of grade 4 students will show growth, as Communicators, as measured through POG self-reflections scored using the teacher rubric.

Strategy 1

The school will build an understanding with students, staff, and the community about why POG attributes and skills positively impact students within and beyond school.

Strategy 2

The school will continue to grow as a safe and positive learning community.

Strategy 3

Collaborative teams will align content knowledge and skills with POG attributes and skills.

 

Access & Opportunity End of Year SMARTR Outcome

Goal:

By the end of SY 2022-23, 75% of all 5th grade students will receive a passing score on the 5th grade Science SOL assessment in May 2023.

Strategy 1

In all K-5 classrooms science will be taught explicitly and through cross-curricular opportunities

Strategy 2

All K-5 classrooms will capture data on student progress

Strategy 3

Teach students how to approach inquiry lessons.
