Comprehensive Needs Assessment Demographics Demographics Summary Heritage Elementary School is located in Grapevine, Texas. The campus is unique as the dividing line between the cities of Grapevine and Colleyville goes straight through the school. The school feeds into three middle schools - Colleyville, Cross Timbers, and Heritage. It also feeds into both high schools Colleyville Heritage and Grapevine. As of September 12, 2013, the total student population is 450. This enrollment number is consistent with previous years. While students move in and out during the school year, the campus does not have a high mobility rate. Students attending Heritage Elementary School are predominately White. There is a large number of Asian American and Arab American students, and the Hispanic population is steadily increasing. The Economically Disadvantaged percentage at Heritage continues to increase from year to year due to the changing demographics of the students. The number of students identified as English Language Learners averages between ten to fifteen students each year. Demographics Strengths The Attendance Rate at Heritage Elementary School is 97.3%. A campus focus on attendance and tardies has caused all stakeholders - students, parents, and staff - to be more conscious of the importance of attending school every day. "No Tardy Parties" are awarded on a weekly basis to classrooms with students arriving on time all week. While the demographics of the student population has changed over the last five years, the school continues to have high parental involvement. The PTA is extremely supportive of the teachers and their work in the classrooms. Parent volunteers are visible daily working with small groups of students and completing special projects. The Watch D.O.G.S. program that began six years ago has made a tremendous impact. The students and staff love having the dads at school!

Student Achievement Student Achievement Summary Heritage Elementary School is identified as "Meeting Standard" by the Texas Education Agency. Distinction Designations were earned in Academic Achievement in Reading/English Language Arts and 25% Closing Performance Gaps. HES is also a No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon School (2006) and a Lighthouse Blue Ribbon School (2008). Student achievement is measured through analysis of data from DRA2, Measures of Academic Progress (MAP), and the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR). During the transition from TAKS to STAAR, the campus will focus on the STAAR results from the 2011 - 2012 school year as the data reveals beneficial information. The recent AYP Report indicated the following results in Reading: All Students Tested = 244, All Students Meeting Standard = 239 (98%) By Student Groups, the AYP Report indicated the following results in Reading: African American Students Tested = 6, African American Students Meeting Standard = 6 (100%) Hispanic Students Tested = 23, Hispanic Students Meeting Standard = 23 (100%) White Students Tested = 165, White Students Meeting Standard = 161 (98%) Economically Disadvantaged Students Tested = 15, Economically Disadvantaged Students Meeting Standard = 15 (100%) Special Education Students Tested = 11, Special Education Students Meeting Standard = 9 (82%) LEP Students Tested = 4, LEP Students Meeting Standard = 3 (75%) The recent AYP Report indicated the following results in Math: All Students Tested = 246, All Students Meeting Standard = 243 (99%) By Student Groups, the AYP Report indicated the following results in Math: African American Students Tested = 6, African American Students Meeting Standard = 6 (100%) Heritage Elementary Generated by Plan4Learning.com

Hispanic Students Tested = 23, Hispanic Students Meeting Standard = 22 (96%) White Students Tested = 167, White Students Meeting Standard = 165 (99%) Economically Disadvantaged Students Tested = 15, Economically Disadvantaged Students Meeting Standard = 15 (100%) Special Education Students Tested = 11, Special Education Students Meeting Standard = 10 (91%) LEP Students Tested = 4, LEP Students Meeting Standard = 3 (75%) While the state has not determined the passing standard for the new assessment, the AYP results indicate reasons to celebrate as well as opportunities for growth. Student Achievement Strengths Heritage Elementary School celebrates a number of strengths. Student performance on both the Reading and Math STAAR was above the required AYP standard in both subjects. All African American students passed both tests as well as all Economically Disadvantaged students. Also, all Hispanic students passed the Reading STAAR. While these three student groups are not recognized as a student group on campus based on size, they do count toward the district results. Performance of these student groups shows a concentrated effort by the teachers to meet the educational needs of all students at Heritage Elementary School.

School Culture and Climate School Culture and Climate Summary Based on informal observations and parent feedback, Heritage Elementary School has a positive school climate. Students, parents, and staff are happy and excited about coming to school. Parents are on campus daily volunteering in classrooms, and the Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) program has yielded positive results for everyone. Parents have completed an online survey through K12 Insight the last two years. 155 parents completed the survey during the 2011 - 2012 school year. 97% of parents responded that they feel welcome at school, and 95% of parents felt they were adequately informed about campus activities.

Students at Heritage Elementary School participate in Rachel's Challenge annually with guidance lessons taught by the counselor. Students, parents, and staff are reminded daily to demonstrate kindness and compassion to others, and the monthly character education theme from Project Wisdom is on display in all classrooms. School Culture and Climate Strengths The theme at Heritage Elementary School for the 2012 - 2013 is "Team Heritage." A pledge was created this year that the students and staff recite on the daily KHES News. The pledge states: "Today I will respect myself; I will respect Every student; I will respect Adults; I will respect My school. I am Team Heritage. We are Team Heritage." At HES, everyone is a team. Teachers may work with a group of students, but all staff members are responsible for every student. The staff is committed to doing whatever it takes for students to be successful. They value the importance of building relationships with students as these relationships directly impact student achievement. Campus administrators are highly visible on campus before, during, and after school to promote learning and ensure student safety. In addition to operating as a team, the staff comments that they are a "family." Heritage Elementary School is a wonderful place for people to work, parents to volunteer, and students to learn.

The Reading Specialist, Campus Technician, Speech Therapist, and Adaptive P. E. Teacher are new, and these positions were hired at the district level. The addition of a Learning Liaison has been beneficial for students and teachers. Staff Quality, Recruitment, and Retention Strengths Heritage Elementary School staff are highly qualified according to the requirements of No Child Left Behind. The staff remains stable with little turnover. Five classroom teachers were reassigned to new grade levels for the 2012 - 2013 school in an effort to foster communication, increase student achievement, and build team relationships.

Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Summary The teachers at Heritage Elementary School align instruction based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) as well as the GCISD Curriculum. They are committed to LEAD 2021 and moving from a teaching to a learning platform. Teachers work tirelessly to follow the curriculum, ensure vertical alignment across grade levels, and provide high quality instruction. They also implement strategies promoting rigor and complexity as well as ongoing formative assessment strategies. The Learning Liaison serves as a resource for Curriculum and Instruction. This position also oversees the work of PLCs as grade levels and content areas plan, prepare, and evaluate lessons and review assessment data. Curriculum standards and student performance are monitored through informal walk-throughs and formal observations. Academic Support Committee (ASC) Meetings are held during the school year to discuss student achievement. Intervention plans are developed for students needing assistance with mastering the curriculum. Discussions with the Gifted Specialist also provides opportunities for extension and differentiation. Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Strengths Students and staff continue to be challenged and motivated to meet the demands of LEAD 2021 and STAAR. Teacher knowledge continues to increase as they increase their understanding about the depth and rigor of the curriculum as well as the importance of college readiness. Students appear more engaged and thinking at a higher level than previous years. The teachers and staff recognize the importance of conversations and observations during Vertical Team Meetings as they understand the curriculum standards build from one year to the next. These conversations are also necessary to build effectiveness in PLCs. Thirty-four staff members have attended Assessing for Learning. This professional development required staff members to be absent from classroom instruction three times during the school year. Their attendance demonstrates their ongoing commitment toward the students and their success at Heritage Elementary School. All staff truly understand the importance of formative assessment and its impact on lesson design and student achievement. While data from MAP and STAAR indicates student performance is above the state average, the campus realizes there is more that can be accomplished this year.

Family and Community Involvement Family and Community Involvement Summary Heritage Elementary School is blessed with strong family and community support. Parents, grandparents, and guardians desire a strong partnership with the school, and they participate in a variety of ways. The school has an active PTA and a dynamic Watch D.O.G.S. program. Both of these organizations promote family involvement and student support. Results from the recent Parent Survey from the 2011 - 2012 school year were very positive. 155 participants responded to questions related to a variety of topics. Topics included the school, its climate, communication, and curriculum. 95% of respondents indicated they were informed about activities at Heritage Elementary School, and 99% believed they had opportunities to volunteer. Responses also revealed that communication provided through school and teacher newsletters as well as the campus and teacher websites provided adequate information about learning opportunities and activities on campus. More than 80% agreed or strongly agreed that their child's teacher communicated high expectations for learning as well as the opportunity to think creatively and work collaboratively. HES Family Nights are held once a month at local restaurants. These Family Nights provide the opportunity for parents, students, and staff to socialize outside of school. They also raise additional funds for the Campus Activity Budget. Family and Community Involvement Strengths Every staff member understands the importance of family and community involvement at Heritage Elementary School. Parents and Guardians are always welcome on campus and in classrooms. Teachers invite parents to help with reading groups, math tutorials, special projects, and field trips. Events are held during the school year to encourage participation such as Meet the Teacher Night, Curriculum Night, Open House, Book Fair Family Nights, Fitness Fridays, and Field Day. New events this year include Career Day in November and Family Technology Night in January. The annual Veterans Day Celebration in November continues to grow in attendance with families, community members, and special guests. Student performances at various times during the school year are always well attended. In addition, the PTA provides opportunities for family involvement. Annual events include the Fall Festival in November, Breakfast with Santa in December, and the Spring Fling in April. Special events such as Donuts with Dads, Muffins for Moms, and Holiday House also encourage attendance. The Library has a Parent Resource Center courtesy of the PTA and HES to assist parents on a variety of topics.

School Context and Organization School Context and Organization Summary Heritage Elementary School is organized and well-managed. Campus operations, school procedures, and daily routines are orderly and promote the safety and well-being of all students. Staff members are on duty to supervise students before school as well as after school. Based on the parent survey from 2011 - 2012, 99% of parents responded that their child feels safe at school with 96% of parents believing the school has clearly defined student behavioral expectations. 82% of parents indicated discipline is consistent for all students at school with 78% believing that discipline is applied fairly to all students. 76% of parents indicated that students do not threaten or bully each other at this school, and 72% of parents believed incidents involving bullying were handled promptly. Reported bullying in prior years has identified nonstructured times (cafeteria, recess, and restrooms) as the areas of the building when incidents occur. In an effort to ensure student safety, the Campus Excellence Committee approved changes in arrival procedures beginning with the 2012 - 2013 school year. The changes were communicated to parents by letter at Meet the Teacher Night. The change in start and end times by GCISD several years ago has decreased traffic flow. Inclement weather causes occasional problems, but overall traffic moves well. School Context and Organization Strengths As mentioned previously, the students, parents, and staff have a positive attitude and feelings toward Heritage Elementary School. Everyone cares about each other, and they are united as an HES Family. The Heritage Elementary School staff are involved in the development of school rules and campus expectations. These rules and expectations adhere to the GCISD Student/Parent Handbook and Student Code of Conduct. The Campus Management Team and Campus Excellence Committee also serve as resources when new ideas and changes are considered at school. PLCs also provide an opportunity to discuss student achievement as well as the overall welfare of the students.

Flip cameras, digital cameras, and iTouches are available for checkout. There are five Digital Classrooms at HES. There is one in each grade level (First through Fifth). These classrooms are equipped with class sets of iPads and six MacBook Airs. Each grade level has five iPads designated for student use daily. These iPads were purchased by the PTA during the 2011 - 2012 school year, and funds from the school's Dash 4 Cash were used to purchase the cases, warranties, and apps. Technology Strengths Teachers are knowledgeable about the use of their document cameras, projectors, and air slates. They have worked together to understand the use of ActivExpressions and Senteos. Teachers and staff have also supported each other on iPads and the many opportunities available for teacher instruction and student use. The five Digital Classroom teachers presented a Digital Showcase during campus staff development in August to share resources with all staff members. Resources included Project Share and Common Sense Media. To promote technology integration, QR codes were attached to class lists on Meet the Teacher Night.
