A MESSAGE FROM:

Garfield Elementary School

2025-2026

Garfield Elementary School has approximately 200 students and is one of ten non-title schools in Thompson School District (having left the Title I cohort in the Spring of 2018). With our enrollment of 199, we are considered a typical sized elementary school in Thompson School District. Garfield is unique as the elementary foundation of the LISA (Loveland Integrated School of the Arts) program feeder system in TSD. Garfield Elementary Arts Integration prepares students for a pathway to our two se… condary LISA schools; Bill Reed Middle School and Mountain View High School. At Garfield, the arts (music, movement/dance, performance, technology, and fine arts) are used to increase student engagement and deepen student understanding within and across content areas. The demographic composition of the school is: 55.6% FRL Eligible, 0.5% Multi-Lingual Learners, 21.1% Hispanic, 70.8% White, 18.6% Students with Disabilities, .5% identified students gifted and talented. Minority students comprise 29.4% of our enrollment. Our attendance rate from 2024-25 is 92.9%. Development of the UIP: A variety of stakeholder groups participated in the development and monitoring of our school Unified Improvement Plan, including our building School Advisory Committee, our school Leadership Team, and our school's Continuous Improvement Team. Learning Services Leadership Team has supported our development of our plan. Our SAC (known as Partners In Education or PIE which is inclusive of community members) meets quarterly for the purpose of reviewing school data, explore/verify root causes, provide input on improvement strategies and monitor progress toward building goals and targets. Monthly, Garfield's Leadership Team meets to review current data, disaggregated and organized by grade level or demographic student groups to analyze our progress toward goals and implementation benchmarks. Our Continuous Improvement Team meets at least monthly to update trends and root analysis, to verify Priority Performance Challenges, Root Causes, and Major Improvement Strategies, and monitor progress toward building goals. Quarterly, school leadership teams in collaboration with families identify/verify school based trends, root causes, priorities, and improvement strategies aligned with the building and district's Learning Services Instructional Vision, The Thompson Portraite of a Graduate, and the Thompson Strategic Plan (Strive 2025). In July 2025 input for the current UIP was developed based on local data and reviewed with our building Continuous Improvement Team as state data became available. In August our Continuous Improvement Team dug into our 2025 CMAS data. In September our Leadership team reviewed our School Performance Framework to validate our Data Trends, refine Priority Performance Challenges, review Root Cause Analysis. In October our Continuous Improvement Team reviewed our Major Improvement Strategies to determine an action plan. In October our Continuous Improvement team defined implementation benchmarks to help us maintain our work. Our stakeholders (Leadership Team) meet monthly or (SAC) quarterly to review current local data releases, explore/verify root causes, provide input on improvement strategies, and monitor progress toward building goals/targets.
