Professional Learning:
• All certified employees will participate in School Improvement Protocols held the third Thursday of each month via School Improvement Teams. Also, we
will have instructional Summits on the first Wednesday of each month that focus on research-based instructional practices. To prepare for these meetings,
the ILT will meet on the second Tuesday of each month so that both the SIT meetings and Summits are facilitated correctly.
 Lakeside High School Fine Arts

Fine Arts Departmental Goals: All Fine Arts students will understand the far reaching benefits of the transferable skills involved in class activities. Students will
participate, excel and perform in various school and community fine arts competitions and events. In addition, those students not directly involved in a fine arts class
will also benefit from the performances, exhibitions, and talents of their peers.

Defined Area of Weakness (Trend Analysis): As a department, we would like to reach out to the Lakeside population as well as our outside community and share
an understanding of the connection of the arts to our culture/history.
