School Community Councils

Thirty-nine School Community Councils (SCCs) represent the 41 schools in Horizon School

Division. The two Hutterian Schools do not have SCCs. Thirty-five of the thirty-nine SCCs in Horizon School Division are made up of the required

number of elected and appointed members as outlined in The Education Regulations,

2015. The actual number of members varies from one SCC to another (from five to nine

elected members plus appointed members). This variation depends upon the needs and

interest demonstrated at the school level. First Nations are represented on seven of the

ten SCCs in Horizon schools where First Nation tuition students attend. The Education Regulations, 2015 require school divisions to undertake orientation, training, development and networking opportunities for their SCC members. In 2016-17, Horizon School Division hosted two forums with repeating agendas. One was held at Lanigan Central High School on March 1, 2017 and a second was held at Wynyard Composite High School on March 2, 2017. Horizon School Division also sponsored SCC members to attend the National Congress on Rural Education. Each year, the SCCs may receive SCC grants in an amount determined annually by the Board of Education. In 2016-17, the total funding amount for Horizon School Division SCCs was $97,747 -- $2,000 per school, plus $3 per enroled student. The SCC, subject to Administrative Procedure with regard to expenditure of any funds allocated to the SCC, expended this grant allocation in order to fulfil the SCC’s Roles and Responsibilities . SCCs utilize the funding in a variety of ways, including supporting meeting expenses, sponsoring a survey of school parents to gain input to school level actions, or supporting school-level events for parents/caregivers. In 2016-17, Horizon SCCs attended to a number of major projects in their school communities. These projects include investing in and/or fundraising for classroom libraries and technology, reading nooks, nutrition programs, staff appreciation events, special events such as back to school BBQs and school carnivals, student scholarships/bursaries, playground equipment and furniture.

SCCs enable the community to participate in educational planning and decision-making, and promote shared responsibility for learning among community members, students, and educators. The Regulations require SCCs to work with school staff to develop an annual Learning Improvement Plan (LIP) that is aligned with the school division’s strategic plan and to recommend that plan to the Board of Education. Horizon’s SCCs engage in this work with school staff through consultation and/or collaboration using data from the previous year.

School Division in the Community

Community Involvement Horizon School Division is located in east central Saskatchewan. The division is closely linked to its communities, its schools and School Community Councils (SCCs). First Nations Chiefs and Councils, Education Committees and community partners contribute to Horizon’s diversity. The school division celebrates diversity in the communities and schools, including those that are made up of 100% First Nations students and families and those that are made up of new Canadians that have come to work in manufacturing and other sectors. Horizon’s Review of School Effectiveness (ROSE) process continued in 2016-17, helping our school communities contribute ideas and feedback to move our schools from good to great. ROSE is a strategic process that gathers feedback and data from staff, students, administrators, parents/caregivers, School Community Council (SCC) members and community members and celebrates the great things happening for our students while identifying those items necessary to support each school’s growth.

Community Partnerships Horizon School Division, along with its individual schools, have developed a wide variety of relationships and partnerships with various agencies at local, provincial and federal levels. Below are just a few of the many successful partnerships.

Strategic Direction and Reporting

The Education Sector Strategic Plan

Members of the education sector have worked together to develop an Education Sector Strategic Plan (ESSP) for 2014-2020. The ESSP describes the strategic direction of the education sector and its priorities and outcomes align the work of school divisions and the Ministry of Education. The plan is expected to shape a new direction in education for the benefit of all Saskatchewan students. 2016-17 was the third year of deployment of the 2014-2020 ESSP.

Enduring Strategies

The Enduring Strategies in the ESSP are: Culturally relevant and engaging curriculum; Differentiated, high quality instruction; Culturally appropriate and authentic assessment; Targeted and relevant professional learning; Strong family, school and community partnerships; Alignment of human, physical and fiscal resources.

Horizon School Division Board of Education Annual Report – 2016-17 – Page 11

Reading, Writing, Math at Grade Level and Unified Student Information System Business Case OUTCOME: By June 30, 2020, 80% of students will be at grade level or above in reading, writing and math. PRIORITY: Develop a business case to explore the feasibility of a provincial Unified Student Information System.

School division goals aligned with Reading, Writing and Math at Grade Level outcome and the Saskatchewan Reads priority

Horizon School Division has set the goal to have 100% of students in grades 1-8 reading at or above grade level and 100% of students in grades 9-12 demonstrating a literacy level that enables them to successfully complete high school and move on to post-secondary education or transition to the workforce.

School division actions taken during the 2016-17 school year to achieve the targets and outcomes of the Reading, Writing, Math at Grade Level outcome and the Unified Student Information System Business Case priority

The continued use of a system-wide Pre-K screening tool helped to identify developmental needs as early as 3 and 4 years old. The Fountas & Pinnell Benchmark assessment for grades 1-8 provided teachers with specific data around where students were struggling with reading and literacy. Division-wide implementation of Ontario Comprehensive Assessment (OCA) tool to understand and strengthen literacy of students in grades 9-12. Horizon’s literacy team continued building the capacity of teachers to align practice with research in promising practice and pedagogy. This was done by building the instructional leadership capacity of school administrators. In 2016-17, the literacy team, under the vision of the Director and supervision of the Superintendent of Student Services, consisted of a Literacy Supervisor and four instructional literacy support coaches. In regards to writing and math, teachers provided ongoing assessment of writing and numeracy related to appropriate outcomes and objectives within the Saskatchewan curriculum. This work was monitored by principals through instructional supervision of teaching practice. A collaborative group of teachers, school administrators and senior leadership worked to develop common assessment tools for mathematics, to be implemented division-wide in the 2017-18 school year.

Measures for Reading, Writing and Math at Grade Level

Proportion of Grade 3 Students Reading At or Above Grade Level Grade 3 reading levels are considered a leading indicator of future student performance.

Horizon School Division Board of Education Annual Report – 2016-17 – Page 12

The following bar graph displays the percentage of Grade 3 students (FNMI, non-FNMI, all) by reading level grouping. The charts below the graph indicate the percentage of Grade 3 students in the province reading at or above grade level, as well as the proportion of Grade 3 students with reported reading levels.

Notes: Reading level groupings are based on provincially developed benchmarks. The percentages of students in each of the reading level groupings were found using the number of students with reported reading levels as the denominator in the calculations. Students who were excluded or who did not participate in the reading assessment were not included in the denominator for these calculations. Results for populations of fewer than 10 students have not been reported to avoid identifying individuals or very small groups of students. FNMI students are those who choose to self-identify as First Nations (Registered/Treaty/Status Indian, Non-Status Indian), Métis, or Inuit/Inuk. Non-FNMI students are those who do not identify as FNM or I, however, this category may include FNMI students who choose not to self-identify. Source: Ministry of Education, 2017

Analysis of results

Horizon School Division results for 2016-17 show about 75% of Horizon Grade 3 students read at or above grade level, overall, compared to the previous year’s overall results of 77%. About 36% of the Grade 3 FNMI subpopulation was reading at or above level last year, which is down from 46% the year before. The non-FNMI subpopulation saw a slight decrease increase from 86% in 2015-16 to 84% in 2016-17. Total Grade 3 average for Horizon School Division students is less than 5 percentage points short of the province’s 2020 goal set out in the ESSP.

Improving First Nations and Métis Student Engagement and Graduation Rates and Following Their Voices OUTCOME: By June 30, 2020, collaboration between First Nations and Métis and non-First Nations and Métis partners will result in significant improvement in First Nations and Métis student engagement and will increase the three-year graduation rate from 35% in June 2012 to at least 65%. PRIORITY: In partnership with First Nations and Métis stakeholders, implement the Following Their Voices Initiative

School division goals aligned with the First Nations and Métis Student Engagement and Graduation Rates outcome and the Following Their Voices priority

This priority area aligns with all three of Horizon School Division’s foundational goals: Literacy Goal: Ensure measurable improvement in Kindergarten to Grade 12 literacy. 100% of students will read at or above grade level. Assessment Goal: Ensure effective assessment practices. Supporting teachers to ensure students are authentically assessed in relation to curricular outcomes. Safe & Caring schools Goal: Ensure all students in our school division feel safe, supported, accepted and valued.

Average Final Marks Teacher-assigned marks are important indicators of student performance in school. Classroom marks are used for grade promotion and graduation decisions, to meet entrance requirements for postsecondary education, to determine eligibility for scholarships and awards and by some employers when hiring. The following displays average final marks in selected secondary-level courses for all students, and by non-FNMI and FNMI student subpopulations in the division, along with provincial results for each category.

Notes: Results for populations of fewer than 10 students have not been reported to avoid identifying individuals or very small groups of students (nr).

students, which are below the overall school division and FNMI subpopulation provincial results. Within the division, there is a difference between FNMI and non-FNMI achievement ranging from 9.1% and 23.8% in the average final marks displayed.

Credit Attainment Credit attainment provides a strong predictive indicator of a school system’s on-time graduation rate. Students receiving eight or more credits per year are more likely to graduate within three years of beginning Grade 10 than those who do not achieve eight or more credits per year. The following displays the credit attainment of secondary students attaining eight or more credits per year for all students, and by non-FNMI and FNMI student subpopulations in the division, along with provincial results for each category.

Notes: Proportions are calculated as the percentage of students enrolled at the secondary level on September 30 attaining eight or more credits yearly. Results for populations of fewer than 10 students have not been reported to avoid identifying individuals or very small groups of students (nr). FNMI students are those who choose to self-identify as First Nations (Registered/Treaty/Status Indian, Non-Status Indian), Métis, or Inuit/Inuk. Non-FNMI students are those who do not identify as FNM or I, however, this category may include FNMI students who choose not to self-identify. Source: Ministry of Education, 2017

Analysis of results

Horizon School Division Board of Education Annual Report – 2016-17 – Page 16

In 2016-17, there was a 1% decrease for “All” and “Non-FNMI” student credit attainment from the previous year, but results for these categories remain well above the provincial results (overall from 74% to 61%). The percentage for FNMI students remained the same as in the year previous, and performance for this group remains above the provincial results (33% compared to 31%). Although Horizon’s results for credit attainment in this measure are above the results for the province, work remains to better support our FNMI students in this area.

Horizon School Division Board of Education Annual Report – 2016-17 – Page 17

Graduation Rates Outcome: By June 30, 2020, Saskatchewan will achieve an 85% three-year graduation rate. Priority: Identify and implement high impact strategies for supporting student engagement, retention, and graduation.

School Division goals aligned with the Graduation Rates outcome and priority

This priority area aligns with all three of Horizon School Division’s foundational goals: Literacy Goal: Ensure measurable improvement in Kindergarten to Grade 12 literacy. 100% of students will read at or above grade level. Assessment Goal: Ensure effective assessment practices. Supporting teachers to ensure students are authentically assessed in relation to curricular outcomes. Safe & Caring schools Goal: Ensure all students in our school division feel safe, supported, accepted and valued.

Exploration of Hub and CoR process and other alternative interagency processes with FNM partners and partner agencies continued. Year two of three-year implementation of Following Their Voices took place in Raymore School in 2016-17.

Measures for Graduation Rates

Grade 12 Graduation Rate: On-Time To graduate within the typical three year period after beginning Grade 10, students must accumulate an average of eight credits per year to achieve the minimum requirement of 24 required secondary level credits at the end of Grade 12. On-time graduation rates are one measure of the efficiency of a school system. The following displays the percentage of students (all students, non-FNMI and FNMI) in the division who graduated within three years of entering Grade 10, along with provincial results in each of these categories.

Notes: On-time graduation rates are calculated as the percentage of students who complete Grade 12 within 3 years of ‘starting’ Grade 10. Results for populations of fewer than 10 students have not been reported to avoid identifying

Horizon School Division Board of Education Annual Report – 2016-17 – Page 19

individuals or very small groups of students (nr). FNMI students are those who choose to self-identify as First Nations (Registered/Treaty/Status Indian, Non-Status Indian), Métis, or Inuit/Inuk. Non-FNMI students are those who do not identify as FNM or I, however, this category may include FNMI students who choose not to self-identify. Source: Ministry of Education, 2017

Analysis of results

In 2016-17, the on-time graduation rates for Horizon’s students overall and for the non-FNMI subpopulation remained above the provincial results, remaining largely consistent with the results from the previous year. However, Horizon’s FNMI students saw a 6% decrease in graduation rates, bringing the total for that group 11% lower than the provincial results for that subpopulation. This indicates that work remains to better support FNMI students who are graduating on-time at a much lower rate than their non-FNMI counterparts.

Grade 12 Graduation Rate: Extended-Time Some students need more time to complete all the courses necessary to graduate so they continue in school longer than the typical three years after beginning Grade 10. Extended-time graduation rates are one measure of the responsiveness of the school system. The following displays the percentage of students (all students, non-FNMI and FNMI) in the division who graduated within five years of entering Grade 10, which includes those who graduated on-time, along with provincial results in each of these categories.

Horizon School Division Board of Education Annual Report – 2016-17 – Page 20

Notes: Extended-time graduation rates are calculated as the percentage of students who complete Grade 12 within 5 years of ‘starting’ Grade 10 (and include those who graduate on-time). Results for populations of fewer than 10 students have not been reported to avoid identifying individuals or very small groups of students (nr). FNMI students are those who choose to self-identify as First Nations (Registered/Treaty/Status Indian, Non-Status Indian), Métis, or Inuit/Inuk. Non-FNMI students are those who do not identify as FNM or I, however, this category may include FNMI students who choose not to self-identify. Source: Ministry of Education, 2017

Analysis of results

In 2016-17, the extended-time graduation rates for Horizon’s students in each subpopulation saw increases of 1% and 1% and 12% compared to the previous year. School division results for the “All” student group remains above the provincial results. The results for First Nations, Métis and Inuit students in the division saw an increase of 12% from the prior year. A large improvement, bringing that subpopulation to within 5% or the provincial results.

Grade 9 to 10 Transition The transition from Grades 9 to 10 can be difficult for some students for many different reasons, including not having reached all outcomes from each subject area in the elementary grades. This measure is intended to show how well Grade 9 students adjust in the transition to Grade 10. Achieving eight or more credits a year is important for steady progress towards graduating on-time.

Horizon School Division Board of Education Annual Report – 2016-17 – Page 21

The following displays the percentage of Grade 9 students (all students and the FNMI subpopulation) in the division who achieved eight or more credits the following school year, along with provincial results for the past eight years and the eight year average.

Notes: Percentages are calculated as the number of students attaining eight or more credits in the year immediately following their Grade 9 year divided by the number of students in the Grade 9 cohort. Results for populations of fewer than five have not been reported to avoid identifying individuals or very small groups of students. FNMI students are those who choose to self-identify as First Nations (Registered/Treaty/Status Indian, Non-Status Indian), Métis, or Inuit/Inuk. Non-FNMI students are those who do not identify as FNM or I, however, this category may include FNMI students who choose not to self-identify. Source: Ministry of Education, 2017

Analysis of results

The percent of Horizon’s overall Grade 9 students achieving 8 or more credits in the year following 2015-16 was down slightly to 83.4% from 83.8% in the previous year. For Horizon’s FNMI students, there was also slight decrease to 41.7%, from 45.0% the year prior. Both Horizon’s FNMI and the overall results remain above the provincial average results for the most recent year. Over the past 8 years on average, 83% of students in Horizon’s Grade 9 cohorts have achieved 8 or more credits in the following year, compared to 73.5% provincially. For the FNMI subpopulation, 39% have achieved 8 or more credits the following year on average, which is slightly lower than the provincial average for this subpopulation (40%).

Sector-Wide Efficiencies Outcome: By August 31, 2020, implement a sector-wide approach to find efficiencies and increase value add in order for the sector to be responsive to the challenges of student needs.

School division goals aligned with the Sector-Wide Efficiencies outcome

This priority area supports Horizon School Division’s foundational goals:

Literacy Goal: Ensure measurable improvement in Pre-K to Grade 12 literacy. 100% of students will read at or above grade level.

Assessment Goal: Ensure effective assessment practices. Supporting teachers to ensure students are authentically assessed in relation to curricular outcomes.

Safe & Caring schools Goal: Ensure Safe & Caring schools. All students in our division feel safe, supported, accepted and valued.

Efficiencies found within Horizon School Division allow for additional resources and time to be reallocated towards the achievement of Horizon’s foundational goals.

School division actions taken during the 2016-17 school year to achieve the targets and outcomes of the Sector-Wide Efficiencies outcome

Reviewing the Absence Management Control Process

During the year, the functionality of AESOP was fully deployed to virtually eliminate timecards for all full-time staff reducing duplicate manual work both in our schools and in central office.

Investigating the Purchasing Process

Horizon implemented the BMO provincial purchasing card program for central office administration and school principals. This has resulted in a reduction in manual data entry as well as a reduction in the work associated with reimbursing schools and employees. Horizon also will benefit from the rebate program offered by BMO.

Horizon continued to encourage vendors to accept payment by electronic fund transfer, reducing not only the risk of handling cash but also the costs associated with printing and mailing cheques.

Electronic T4s were implemented for the 2016 calendar year, reducing the costs of printing, sorting and mailing T4s to all employee groups.

Optimizing Purchasing, Tendering and Operational Services

Horizon continued to participate in the provincial P3 tender for the acquisition of furniture and equipment, allowing for the centralization of purchasing of school-based furniture in order to obtain bulk purchase discounts.

Working with Supreme Basics for the online ordering of classroom, office and art supplies, Horizon realized hard cost savings of an estimated 14% and time savings related to the streamlined ordering and invoice processing options.

Horizon School Division Board of Education Annual Report – 2016-17 – Page 23

Horizon continued to follow the strategy of deploying Chromebooks rather than investing in desktop computers in designated computer labs which improved flexibility while generating significant savings.

An RFP was issued for the provision of caretaking supplies, allowing for standardization of caretaking products, standards and training as well as hard cost savings.

Integrating our BusPlanner software with GPS allowed for the optimization of bus routes, realizing annual cost savings and opportunities to continue to monitor and reconfigure routes to best serve the transportation needs throughout our division.

Design-build RFP for a New Central Office Administration Facility

Significant costs saving were realized by issuing a design-build RFP for the construction of a new administration facility. The contracted costs for the new facility were greatly reduced from original estimates and the system will benefit annually from the costs savings realized from streamlining and consolidating administrative services. The new facility will also provide space for professional development and training sessions for all employee groups, eliminating the current requirement to rent facilities from external parties.

Early Years Outcome: By June 30, 2020, children aged 0-6 years will be supported in their development to ensure that 90% of students exiting Kindergarten are ready for learning in the primary grades.

School division goals aligned with the Early Years outcome

This priority area aligns with all three of Horizon School Division’s foundational goals: Literacy Goal: Ensure measurable improvement in Kindergarten to Grade 12 literacy. 100% of students will read at or above grade level. Assessment Goal: Ensure effective assessment practices. Supporting teachers to ensure students are authentically assessed in relation to curricular outcomes. Safe & Caring schools Goal: Ensure all students in our school division feel safe, supported, accepted and valued.

School division actions taken during the 2016-17 school year to achieve the targets and outcomes of the Early Years outcome

Horizon School Division utilized a system-wide Pre-K screening tool, Ages & Stages Questionnaire (ASQ), to identify the developmental needs of 3 and 4 year olds.

Measures for Early Years

Early Years Evaluation The Early Years Evaluation-Teacher Assessment (EYE-TA) is a readiness screening tool that provides information about each child’s development and learning with a focus on reading readiness skills. Results from the EYE-TA allow educators and school-based interdisciplinary teams to quickly identify children most likely to require extra support during the Kindergarten year, based on their levels of skill development in five key domains at school entry. In addition to results for specific domains, children are also assigned a comprehensive score known as a Responsive Tiered Instruction (RTI) level. Responsive Tiered Instruction (RTI) is a preventive approach that allows educators, school teams and divisions to allocate resources early and continuously, rather than waiting until after children have experienced failure before responding. The following displays the percentage of children (all children, non-FNMI and FNMI) in the division assessed as Tier I at Kindergarten entry and after the Kindergarten year at exit, for the 2014-15 (baseline) year and the two years following, as well as the provincial results for each category.

Horizon School Division Board of Education Annual Report – 2016-17 – Page 25

Notes: Research shows early identification followed by a responsive, tiered approach to instruction from Kindergarten to Grade 3 can substantially reduce the prevalence of reading challenges. The primary role of EYE is to help inform educational practice. EYE screening at Kindergarten entry is used by classroom teachers and school divisions to identify children who experience difficulties with important skills when they arrive in Kindergarten, and who may need closer monitoring or further assessment during the year. Children who have difficulty with important skills at Kindergarten entry are also re-assessed before the end of the Kindergarten year, allowing school divisions to measure the impact of their supports and responses. Children assigned Tier I RTIs are able to complete developmental tasks without difficulty. These children have a high probability of reading at grade level by Grade 3 - an important predictor of school success, including Grade 12 graduation.

Horizon School Division Board of Education Annual Report – 2016-17 – Page 26

The format of EYE-TA results reported previously in school division annual reports varies from the format used here. Prior to 2016-17, displays showed percentage results for all RTI Tiers at Kindergarten entry and exit of the assessment year. The amended displays now show only the percentage of children assessed as Tier I at Kindergarten entry and after the Kindergarten year at exit. In addition, school division EYE-TA displays also now show results for self-declared First Nations (Registered/Treaty/Status Indian, Non-Status Indian), Métis, or Inuit/Inuk children (FNMI), and for those who do not identify as FNMI (non-FNMI), provided both comparison groups consist of a minimum of 10 children. It should be noted that the non-FNMI group may include FNMI students who choose not to self-identify. Source: Ministry of Education, Early Years Branch, 2017

Analysis of results

This data shows that Horizon students were below the provincial average entering kindergarten in the 2016-17 school year (51% compared to 58%), but improved to 77% by the time they were exiting kindergarten that year. This is slightly below the provincial average of 80% of students achieving developmental tasks on exiting kindergarten. In the FNMI subpopulation, students were below the provincial average entering kindergarten in the 2016-17 school year (19% compared to 31%), but improved to 54% by the time they were exiting kindergarten that year.
