School Improvement
At Cherokee, we choose to inspire, believe, achieve and lead to empower learners for a lifetime of success.
The School Improvement Plan (SIP) is a planning tool designed to address student achievement and system needs identified through the school's Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA).
Additionally, the SIP provides a method for schools to address the school improvement planning requirements of Public Act 25 of the Revised School Code and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
The Chippewa Valley School District Plan is posted on chippewavalleyschools.org, under the For Parents tab. Additional information about School Improvement Plans can be found on the Michigan Legislature website.
