School Education Plan
Principal: Pierrette Hall
School/ School Year: Francis C. Hammond Middle School 2015-2016
Division Strategic Plan Goal Areas: 2016-2020________________________________________
1. Academic Excellence and Educational Equity: Every student will be academically successful and prepared for life, work, and college .The
preparation of students for post-secondary life is a fundamental purpose of PK-12 education. ACPS pledges to educate students in an
atmosphere of excellence and educational equity, and to ensure that students are challenged to stretch their talents and aspirations.
2. Family and Community Engagement: ACPS will partner with families and the community in the education of Alexandria’s youth. The
education of Alexandria’s young people is a shared responsibility of families and schools, and by recognizing the important role that families
play and by assisting families to understand curricula and ways they can support children, we all benefit.
3. An Exemplary Staff: ACPS will recruit, develop, support and retain a staff that meets the needs of every student. Our employees need to be
resourceful, flexible, and creative. They must value diversity and collaboration and work well in teams. To this end, we must actively recruit,
hire, train, and retain our staff using innovative methods and incentive.
4. Facilities and the Learning Environment: ACPS will provide optimal and equitable learning environments. High quality facilities and a
comprehensive infrastructure are fundamental to learning and teaching. The physical environment of school buildings and school grounds is a
key factor in the overall health and safety of students, staff members, and visitors. Student achievement can be affected positively by the
physical environment.
5. Health and Wellness: ACPS will promote efforts to enable students to be healthy and ready to learn. Students who are healthy are better
able to learn and attend school than those who are not. Student with high levels of such “developmental assets” as family support ,
relationships with caring non-family adults , an ethos that promotes service to others , and safe environments are more likely to engage in
positive social interactions and exhibit respect, tolerance, and self-discipline.
6. Effective and Efficient Operations: ACPS will be efficient, effective, and transparent in its business operations. To maintain confidence and
trust as stakeholders, an organization must be responsible for implementing, and accountable for maintaining, sound business practices.

School Education Plan
SMART Goal 1 (Example)
During the 2015-16 school year, all 5th grade students, including students who are Hispanic,
LEP, or economically disadvantaged, will improve their math skills as measured by a 5 point
increase in the percentage of students passing this year’s SOL math test.
Evidence:
Summarize how the SMART Goal will be measured and the evidence you’ll use to demonstrate
progress on or completion of the SMART Goal.
The SMART will be progress monitored for English, Math, and Science throughout the school
year using the following:


Rationale:
 Describe why the school is working on the SMART Goal.
Reading – We are working on this SMART Goal because FCH did not meet the
accreditation benchmark mandated by the VDOE.
Math – We are working on this SMART Goal because FCH did not meet the
accreditation benchmark mandated by the VDOE.
Science – We are working on this SMART Goal because although FCH met the
accreditation benchmark as mandated by the VDOE it must develop a
sustainability plan to ensure that it remains accredited.
TELL – We are working on this SMART Goal in order to improve school culture
and climate and decrease the suspension rate at FCH.

standards, Thinking Through Math/Math Remediation Form for intervention
teacher, and differentiation strategies
5
School Education Plan
o Science – Review resources for grades 6 and 7 science content, Unpacking
SOL Standards, VDOE State Rubric, VDOE Look For’s, Differentiation
strategies
o TELL – Professional learning on the Multi-Tier Support System – PBIS Admiral Pride and classroom managed vs. administrative managed
behavioral infractions
Action Plan: Document the 2-3 strategies/activities that your school believes are most
important and will make a difference in achieving each of your SMART Goals.

Smart Goal 1 - Math
1.
Math Intervention Course – We will
revise the math intervention course
for Thinking Through Math.
Students who failed the SOL in the
rage of 365-399 during the 20142015 school year will be
strategically targeted for
remediation.
The intervention teacher will work
collaboratively with grade level
math teachers to align remediation
instruction with core content
instruction.
The Math Intervention teacher will
incorporate Thinking Through math
lessons with fidelity for 50% of class
time and 50% will be standards
based instruction based on core
math teacher achievement data and
common assessments
