School Improvement Plan (SIP)
Morning Glory Public School is committed to supporting the Board’s literacy focus under the three Board focus areas of Quality Schools, Building Family and Community Capacity and Quality Workplaces.
Since PROCESS is often the key to success as much as planning, the staff, students and community of Ashton Meadows are on a collective journey to determining specific Success Criteria and Look Fors for each of the targets below. We are driven by the belief that the impact of those collective discussions will move us closer to achieving the goals outlined in the SIP. Each year, specific activities are developed and attached to the SIP as a working addendum.

Board Improvement Work Plan (BIP)
The BIP provides the framework for individual School Improvement Plans and Department Improvement Plans, each with its own measurable goals and targets which are monitored throughout the year and revised annually. The BIP is the means by which the Board holds itself accountable for improvements in student achievement and well being.
