Understanding Our School Improvement Plan

At Town Creek, we are committed to providing the very best education and opportunities for every student. One important way we do this is through our School Improvement Plan (SIP).A School Improvement Plan is a roadmap that helps guide our school's goals and priorities. It identifies what we are doing well, areas where we can grow, and the specific steps we will take to help all students succeed.How is the plan developed?

Creating a School Improvement Plan is a team effort. We review information such as:

      Student academic performance

      Attendance and behavior data

      Student, parent, and staff feedback

      Strengths and challenges within our school community

Why is it important?
The School Improvement Plan helps ensure that we are all working toward the same goals. It allows us to:

      Focus on student achievement

      Strengthen teaching and learning practices

      Support students' social and emotional well-being

      Make informed decisions about programs and resources

      Strengthen partnerships and communication with families

The 2025-2026 School Improvement Plan can be found on the TCES website. Throughout the year, the plan is monitored by regularly reviewing student achievement, attendance, behavior, and other school data to measure progress toward our goals. We are currently reviewing multiple data points and gathering feedback to develop, share, implement, and monitor this year's School Improvement Plan so it reflects the needs of our students, staff, families, and community.

Every Day Counts

Regular attendance is one of the strongest predictors of student success. When students attend school consistently, they have more opportunities to learn, build relationships, and stay connected to their classroom community.

The chart below shows the running average attendance rate for each grade level at TCES. We encourage families to take a look and see how their child(ren)'s attendance compares to their grade-level average. Every day counts, and even small improvements in attendance can make a big difference in student achievement.

Tips for Improving Attendance:

Establish a consistent bedtime and morning routine.

Prepare clothes, backpacks, and school materials the night before.

Schedule appointments outside of school hours whenever possible.

Encourage your child to talk about school and the importance of being present each day.

Communicate with the school if challenges arise so we can work together to support your child.

Thank you for partnering with us to support strong attendance and student success. Every day at school is an opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive!

The partnership between families and schools is a cornerstone of student success. When educators and families work together, they create a strong support system that nurtures academic growth, social-emotional well-being, and a lifelong love of learning. Open communication, mutual respect, and shared commitment help ensure that every child feels encouraged, valued, and supported both at home and at school. By fostering meaningful family-school partnerships, we strengthen our school community and create the best possible opportunities for all students to thrive and reach their full potential.

Students learn best when they start the day with a nutritious meal! A healthy breakfast and lunch help support focus, energy, and academic success throughout the school day. Be sure to check the weekly breakfast and lunch menus to see the delicious options available. As a helpful tip, students can practice entering their 6-digit lunch number on a phone keypad or calculator at home to build confidence and help them move smoothly through the cafeteria line. Be sure to look closely at the images. The top is K-5 and the bottom is Pre-K.
