School Culture and Climate

School Culture and Climate Summary

South begins the 2014 - 2015 scholastic year with approximately 45% new staff members. The culture of the school is grounded on student achievementwith strong ties of support from our parents and community. South will continue to build a strong bridge toward our parents and community. Our schoolclimate is much improved as we see much more parent involvement in our PTA and parents coming into the building to have lunch with their students or tovolunteer in the classrooms. Teachers and administration align our activities with the strong Hispanic Culture that predominates our community while at thesame time, we embed our Citizenship values and our countries' culture to each outreach activity. A school social committee, a discipline team, an involvedCEIC and teachers helping to guide our common vision for student improvement will create a true systemic learning community. CHAMPS, a District classmanagement initiative has been adopted, implemented and positive results are being seen. In addition, the entire staff attended Ruby Payne's Working WithStudents from Poverty over the Summer and will work on building relationships based on the concepts learned.

School Culture and Climate Strengths

Strong community outreach programs and activities. A knowledgeable home/school Parent Liaison with over 50 years of experience in education. Acommon school wide vision to improve student achievement.

School Culture and Climate Needs

With almost 45% new staff members, our common vision for South must be focused on building capacity in curriculum, lesson planning and themastery of TEKS at each grade level. Loss of staff capacity will create a higher sence of urgency to coach new staff up to STAAR performing teaching skills.South is adhering to District mandated PD opportunities but must be prescriptively focused on identified areas of need for added ProfessionalDevelopment. South must continue to focus on Parent Involvement.
