Description Mililani Mauka Elementary opened on September 1, 1993 with 280 students in grades K through 6. In 1998, we became a K-5 elementary school with the opening of Mililani Middle. From 1993 to 2003, our enrollment grew to 1250 students. In 2003, a second elementary school opened in the Mililani Mauka community, allowing our enrollment to decrease to 650 students. From 2003-2016, our enrollment has gradually increased to 860 students. Our projection for school year -2018 is 840 students. Mililani Mauka Elementary was designed to be a complete school of the future, being completely networked for voice, video, and data. As a participating school in the HIDOE Future Ready Learning Program, every student is assigned a digital device (ipad or Macbook Air) to support learning. The use of technology to enhance teaching-learning processes is integral to the school's design and operation. During the design process, school members adopted Harvard s Project Zero Smart concept as the school s philosophical base, developing the school s conceptual framework based on the principle that learning is a consequence of thinking and should be reflective of deep understanding. The principle is manifested in the daily life of the school through the supportive elements of smart content, smart assessment, smart growth and change, smart thinking dispositions, smart culture, and smart technology. We have an active Community Council as well as a very supportive Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). The PTO has funded various initiatives for the students in the arts, technology, music, and physical education. For the past eight years, the PTO has funded a part-time art teacher who worked with students on various and will continue to do so for school year -2018.

Status and Improvement Report Improvement Year 2016-17 Summary of Progress For school year 2016-, we implemented our Academic Plan as well as the 6 HIDOE Priority Strategies. Common Core Standards For the third full year, all teachers implemented the state-recommended McGraw Hill Reading Wonders program to address all common Core Standards in English Language Arts. As a HIDOE Future Ready, all students have access to digital devices to support a wide range of educational technology such as the online component of Wonders, Achieve 3000, Lexia Core 5 Reading Plus, Google Apps for Education, IXL, and Ten Marks among others. Mililani Mauka Elementary is in its second year of implementing the state-recommended math program Stepping Stones. Grade-level teacher teams met regularly throughout the school year to support one another with implementation of this program. For the third consecutive year, students in grades 3, 4 and 5 were administered the CSSS-aligned Smarter Balanced Assessments. We continue to host SBA Parent Nights to share information about the assessments. DataTeams and Formative Instruction Our school-wide focus for school year 2016- was the Standards of Mathematical Practice [SMP] #3, Constructing Viable Arguments and Critiquing the Reasoning of Others, to increase student complex thinking skills. Our faculty engaged in professional development targeting our focused learning areas including data analysis, looking at student work, goal setting, in-service PD, professional readings and hosting other complex area educators to participate in a guided visit to our classrooms. Through the efforts of the school Planning Cadre, Instructional Leadership Team and grade-level data teams, professional development was facilitated throughout the year to support continuous improvement towards the school-wide focus. Comprehensive Student Support Services All students are screened three times per year in both ELA and Math using DIBELS. Students identified as at-risk are supported with additional tutoring in reading an/or math. Our school implemented an intervention block 4 days a week to further support differentiation for all students. Our emphasis on the six pillars of character Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship continued this year and was highlighted at our Mililani Complex Character Education Fair. For civic responsibility, our students participated in a canned food drive to provide food for need families, donated supplies to the homeless, and participated in recycling drives throughout the school year. During the month of February, the students also participated in an anti-bullying campaign that recognized over 4,000 random acts of kindness. Mililani Mauka Elementary 11/ Page 4 of 8
