Section II - PLAN DEVELOPMENT, REVIEW, AND IMPLEMENTATION
Part B. Stakeholder Involvement
The School Improvement Team facilitates the development of a plan and monitors the implementation of it so that the school’s mission statement
can be achieved. The committee meets throughout the school year:
During the meetings, progress toward the school’s goals was monitored, staff development activities were planned and results of assessments
were discussed, and school climate was referenced as well.
Parents review the SIP goals at a PTO or PTAC meeting and through the district’s website. Historically, each October the School Report Card,
which is posted on the district Web site (district30.org), describes the SIP planning process, updates the goals from the previous year, and
identifies the goals and activities for the current year. Academic frameworks are reviewed each year as well. Each year we also publicly present
our School Improvement Plan to the Board of Education at a Board meeting and sign assurances to the State of Illinois that we have complied with
the School Improvement process.
The School Improvement process is dynamic and continues throughout the year. As specific activities are planned and completed, we involve
parents and others at the appropriate times to keep them apprised of the efforts to improve our school.

Section III DATA AND ANALYSIS
Part C---Local Assessment Data
Maple School maintains a consistent student population profile. There continues to be a low mobility rate. Our community is well educated and
committed to high quality educational opportunities. Students demonstrate growth from year-to-year and have a wide variety of experiences and
interests. The building is on a regular maintenance program and is in good condition. Maple School was built in 1960, a major renovation occurred
in 2001 which included a traffic flow upgrade, new door locks and ADA handles, a new applied technology lab, new orchestra room, and new
kitchen and dining facilities. The building is used by a number of community groups including the Northbrook Park District.
Maple staff uses a number of additional methods of data collection to develop the School Improvement Plan. Local assessments, classroom
assessments, school-wide behavior management systems and parent feedback from committees are other examples used in planning. As a staff,
we use this additional information to examine our instructional practices, community relationships, and overall effectiveness. This information is an
integral piece to developing sound activities and goals.
Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) is an online adaptive assessment administered twice each year (Fall and Spring) in the areas of
reading, language usage, and mathematics to all students in Grade 1 through Grade 8. (Grade 1 only tests in math; Grade 2 adds
language usage in the spring.) MAP is an adaptive assessment that measures student academic growth. This assessment is aligned to
the Illinois Learning Standards and provides student-level information in specific goal areas to support instructional planning. These data
are used to form flexible groupings within and across classrooms to support differentiation of instruction.
Curriculum Based Measures (CBM) are one minute reading prompts administered to all students in Grade 1 through Grade 5 and to
targeted groups in Grade 6 and Grade 7. These data points provide information about reading fluency and comprehension and are used
to facilitate appropriate literacy groupings within classrooms.
Edformation/ Early Literacy Measures (ELMS) are a set of standardized, individually administered measures of early literacy
development. They are designed to be short (one minute) fluency measures used to regularly monitor the development of pre-reading and
early reading skills (phonemic awareness, letter naming, and onset fluency).
Fountas and Pinell Benchmarking Assessment is administered to each first grader during a one-on-one, student-teacher assessment
conference. Optimal learning levels for small group instruction are determined for Team Read placement. The test is administered in the
fall and the spring.

Section III DATA AND ANALYSIS
Part D---Communication
At the District level there are a variety of ways that the parent community can be involved. Some examples are
Board of Education
* Presidents’ Council
District 30 Foundation
* Communication Task Force
Citizens’ Curriculum Advisory Committee
* Parent Action Committee
Families in the community have an active role in supporting student learning through the school improvement process. Parents and community
members have opportunities to participate in committees to plan and execute action plans. At Maple, parents have this opportunity through school
committees and the Maple PTO and Maple’s PTAC. The community takes an active role in implementing beautification projects, organizing school
activities, supporting classroom activities and providing critical feedback for improvement. District 30 staff informs families and community
members using many resources. Each building communicates through weekly newsletters and monthly PTO bulletins, consisting of school
information and PTO information. District 30 has a comprehensive web site, which covers all programs and procedures of the district.
Opportunities for family involvement occur throughout the year based on the action plans developed through a community effort.
The communities of Northbrook and Glenview support student learning throughout the year. With the help of District 30 Foundation, resources are
purchased for the students and the schools. Other local agencies in the Northbrook and Glenview communities partner with the schools in varying
projects to support student education, health, and safety.
Parent involvement at the buildings includes
PTO- Parent Teacher Organization
PTAC- Parent Teacher Advisory Council
Curriculum Night
Parent Teacher Conferences
Classroom Volunteers
