Instructional Focus

Our 2022 - 2023 SMART Goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-Framed) align with and support our Division's Vision, Mission, and Strategic plan. These goals were identified through a collaborative process involving our students, faculty, school community, and the Ross Sheppard Catchment. 

Priority 1:  All students at Westmount Jr High will demonstrate measurable growth in the areas of literacy and numeracy. At Westmount Jr High, we will measure this growth through teacher awarded marks, reading levels (at, above, below), PATs, CAT4 and HLAT marks. 

Priority 2: Westmount Jr High and the Ross Sheppard Catchment will advance action towards anti-racism and reconciliation. Evidence of action at Westmount, will look like continued professional development, cross curricular lessons and projects, and implementation of the OECD recommendations as measured by observations, conversations, and products from all stakeholders.

Priority 3: We will support students and staff in building skills, strategies and relationships that contribute to positive mental health. Evidence of action at Westmount Jr High, will look like professional development, weekly health and wellness lessons, and student led community activities, as measured by observations, conversations, and products from all stakeholders.
