      1. ELA GOALS: K-2 grades have a goal to be 85% proficient in ELA. Grades 3 -5 have a goal of 80% proficiency. ACC strives for 80% of the students to see a 20% increase.
      2. Land Trust money is primarily used to pay interventionists. We also use some to pay for an art brain booster teacher and to support the building leadership team.
      3. Everyone receives Tier 1 support in their classroom. Kids who need additional help receive Tier 2 support in a small group led by their teacher. Kids who are above level receive extended learning opportunities with extension teachers. Park Lane begins each year with a great group of kids who are already above benchmark and we love to push these kids even further with extension groups.
      4. MATH GOALS: K-2 will be 85% proficient. Grades 3-5 will be 80% proficient. ACC strives for 80% of students to see a 20% increase.
