At MCES, our School Improvement Plan (SIP) is directly informed by our school board's Director's Annual Plan (DAP) which is located on the school board's website.
Everything we do at MCES falls under our school motto:
At MCES, EVERYONE MATTERS and EVERYONE BELONGS - BE KIND!
In keeping our motto at the forefront of all we do, our school foci at MCES is based on four major goals;
Goal #1 Fostering Well-Being and Mental Health: At MCES, we prioritize and support the mental health and well-being of students and staff by implementing and monitoring actions outlined in the Student Mental Health and Addictions Strategy, while engaging in collaborations with an expanded list of diverse community partners and children’s mental health organizations.
Goal #2- Champion Equity and Inclusivity: At MCES, we prioritize the creation of developing supportive relationships with students, families and community members to identity-affirming spaces and practices that are inclusive of all communities free of racism and hate.
Goal #3- Champion Equity and Inclusivity : At MCES, we intentionally deepen our understanding about and implement Black-affirming environments through culturally relevant teaching practices.
Goal #4- Provide Effective Instruction and Assessment: At MCES, we deepen our understanding of culturally relevant and responsive pedagogy and implement our learning about identity-affirming curriculum, anti-oppressive assessment and evaluation, and use triangulation of data to document evidence of learning over time.
This work is evolving regularly and in response to our student needs.
