2017-18 Academic Achievement Comparative Data
The results from last spring's statewide assessments can be reviewed on this website under the District Home Page (Click on Academic Achievement). The assessments included in this report include the Math and English Language Arts assessments that comprise the Idaho Standards Achievement Tests (ISAT). There is also a report for the state Science assessments in grades 5, 7, and the End of Course Biology Assessment for high school students. The K-3 Idaho Reading Indicator (IRI) and the grade 11 College Board SAT results are also included in the report.
It is the goal of the district to score as well or better than the state averages on each of these assessments. We also want to score as well or better than other districts in the state that have similar demographic factors such as student enrollment, poverty, and ethnicity. The school districts included in this comparative data report are the other SRV schools (Payette, Fruitland, Parma, Homedale), but also includes other schools in the state (American Falls, Buhl, Gooding, Snake River, and Wendell). The names of these districts have been removed because we do not have their permission to post their data.
If you take a few minutes and review the data and have questions, please contact the building principal for the grade level involved in the assessment that you are interested in. They will be happy to discuss and explain the data contained in the charts with you.

The Parent Portal is now "Live"
The Parent Portal is now live for all parents who have registered an email account with their child's school. Parents can access student data like attendance and grades in our new Tyler SIS student data management system. If you have not done so already, please contact your child's school to enter a current, valid email address. You will only need to contact one school, even if you have other children in other buildings in the district. A single login will give you access to all your children's information. The Parent Portal link is located on the Parents/Students tab on the district website. You will need to click on the Parents/Students tab to access the Parent Portal link. Your email address is your USERNAME. You can set your own password as well as change it without any direction or help from the school.

Combined District Plan for 2018-19 and the District Strategic Plan
The Weiser Board of Trustees has approved two plans for the 2018-19 school year. The Combined District Plan 2018-19 is a plan required by the State Board of Education and combines the Continuous Improvement Plan, College and Career Advising and Mentoring Plan, and our Literacy Intervention Program Plan. You can review the Combined Plan on this website under the District Home Page tab. You'll notice that the plan describes the district's efforts to meet the challenges outlined by the Idaho Legislature and the State Board of Education and the metrics they selected to measure progress.
The second document is the District Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan is also located under the District Home Page tab. The strategic plan was created in 2002 and states our district's vision to be "the highest achieving rural school district in Idaho". The strategic plan outlines how we have aligned our curriculum, instructional strategies, assessments, and professional development to promote student achievement in working towards our vision. It establishes goals, action steps, and targets that will help us move towards our vision. Additionally, the metrics used to measure our progress in achieving our vision are somewhat different than those used in the Combined District Plan. To measure our progress in being a high achieving rural school district we have chosen to measure our performance on statewide assessments against the state's performance as well as other school districts with similar demographics.
We welcome your written comments to the contents of either and/or both plans. Your comments will be shared and reviewed by the Weiser Board of Trustees.
