School Community Councils are one way we can work together to make schools more successful and promote school improvement. The Community Council members work to improve the school environment and provide feedback on school programs. School Community Council members serve for a term of two years and must have a child attending our school. The time commitment is around an hour a month.

- Funds received: $84,091.10
- Funds used for: Land Trust funds will be used to pay for up to 1.0 teacher(s) FTE to reduce class sizes in math. Math comprehension is one of our greatest academic needs. We will create math labs, a reading strategies class, and add other extended periods when necessary to lower class sizes and focus on remediation. Our reading strategies class will provide support for students that currently read below standard on the HMH Reading Assessment. Evergreen will host an evening curriculum night mid-year for students and parents. The night will be spent with 5th grade students from our feeder schools. We introduce them to the various programs that we offer and train them how to access core standards. We also introduce them to literacy and/or numeracy strategies relevant to junior high and introduce them to organizational and other soft skills required in junior high. Teachers are paid a stipend to attend and participate. Teachers will run before and after school tutoring for students who need additional help. This will help with remediation and allow students to retake assessments. We may use Land Trust monies to pay teachers to stay after contract time for tutoring and academic/curricular clubs. We will dedicate some of our advisory periods to improve school-wide literacy. Teachers will create word walls that has common vocabulary as well as supplemental words that relate to their content areas. Teachers will instruct the students using these vocabulary words. During these reading advisory periods we will focus on school-wide literacy by reading from different scholarly articles. The articles will help improve vocabulary, fluency, and decoding skills. When needed we will purchase reading programs, academic articles, and reading software to provide additional support.
