 * Please list at least one area in which we can improve and provide suggestions for improvement in this area:**

(Optional)** || time to test kids or counsel kids, and are stuck in closets. ||  ||   || (ex: reading data) || Have a "team" notebook of data that is brought to team everyday and can be accessed easily. Have another notebook for the elective team so they can acess the same data. ||  ||
 * **Specific Area to Improve** || **Suggestion to improve this area** || **Second Suggestion to improve this area
 * WMS needs more classroom space for PE/Health, ||  ||   ||
 * WMS needs more space for the people who come here part
 * providing access to data for everyone that needs to see it
 * Lunch || Continue to improve the menu. It has been great to have the new selections, but we still have the pizza that no one enjoys. ||  ||
 * More than 2 staff on recess duty at a time. || Possibly have at least one male outside during each recess. ||  ||
 * Substitute teachers know the material that they are teaching. || Possibly have some training about the classroom, students and what they are needing to teach. ||  ||
 * we are good at knowing our own subject's data, now we need to integrate all data into our classrooms (math and language arts and science across the board) || Making sure everyone on your team has a copy of your data for their data notebooks ||  ||
 * Minimizing classroom time disruptions (testing, assemblies, etc.) - sometimes it becomes just too much and we can't accomplish what we need to || Maybe be more selective about assemblies our kids will attend, finding ways to give MAP and PAWS that doesn't take away so many days of classroom instruction ||  ||
 * ILPP forms - filling them out consistently || Have all ILPPs in a binder (not a filing cabinet), and have one team member be in charge of the binder, whenever a student's name is mentioned, have that person open the binder and write a note somewhere on the form ||  ||
 * Will need to address classroom size in the coming years. 115 6th graders entering next fall || I wish I knew. ||  ||
