Nevada Joint Union High School District

This School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) for Bear River High School outlines strategies to maximize resources and increase student achievement, aligning with the district's Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and the school's WASC Plan. Key focus areas include comprehensive student support through academic intervention, rigor, and social-emotional well-being; fostering student achievement through career and college readiness, diverse course offerings (including CTE pathways), and life skills education; and enhancing communication and collaboration with feeder schools, other district programs, colleges, and the wider community to ensure continuity and shared resources.

The strategic plan for Silver Springs High School aims to increase student achievement and readiness for college, career, and lifelong learning. It focuses on three key areas: enhancing academic achievement and engagement for high-needs student subgroups through aligned instructional, behavioral, and academic interventions; cultivating a safe and inclusive school culture with trauma-informed, social-emotional learning, and restorative practices; and providing personalized educational opportunities for college, career, and workforce preparation, including internships and skill-building programs.
