School Story Focus 2025-2026
| School Learning Focus for the 2025/26 school year | We will increase students’ engagement with text in thoughtful and purposeful ways to strengthen reading and comprehension across grade levels and language programs |
| Evidence-Informed Rationale (WHY) | Our data across K–7 shows a consistent pattern: students are engaging with print, but many are not yet reading for meaning. Whether in early French immersion, primary English, or the intermediate grades, learners need more purposeful, joyful interaction with text. Teachers are seeing wide variation in foundational skills, limited stamina for comprehension, and a strong need for daily structures that model how readers think, build vocabulary, and make meaning from what they read. |
| Priority Learners | K – 7 Learners who are not yet Proficient to Extending in their reading comprehension skills |
| Baseline Data | At least 50% of students are below proficient in their Reading Comprehension Skills from our School Wide Reading Assessment in both languages of instruction |
| Action Statement (HOW) | Our school wide focus responds directly to these findings, ensuring that every student reads, is read to, and engages in authentic comprehension practices across all language programs. |
| Intended Impact (SO WHAT) | We will help students grow into confident, capable readers. |
| Evidence of Impact (HOW WE WILL KNOW) | Our Spring School Wide Reading Assessment will be used to determine the level of success |
| Alignment Statement | Improve literacy outcomes for all learners to support success in all areas of the kindergarten to Grade 7 Curriculum |
