District K-12 Content Area Teams

Student learning is the core of our school district.

Learning requires curriculum, instruction, and assessment.
Curriculum defines "What" will be learned.
Instruction defines "How" it will be learned.
Assessment defines "How Well" it was learned.

School Report Cards

The Department of Public Instruction (DPI) is required by state statute (Wis. Stat. 115.385) to generate school and district report cards. The report cards are intended to help schools and districts use performance data to celebrate successes and improve their efforts to prepare students for their futures. These report cards include data on multiple indicators for multiple years across four priority areas (Achievement, Growth, Target Group Outcomes, and On-track to Graduation). Based on its score, a school or district receives one of five rating categories, from Fails to Meet Expectations to Significantly Exceeds Expectations. Once again, the School District of Lodi received a rating from the state of Exceeds Expectations. Furthermore, Lodi High School received its highest rating to date by falling into the Significantly Exceeds Expectations range. All other schools in the district fell into the Meets Expectations range. Internally, our teams have had the opportunity to analyze these reports to celebrate areas of success and be responsive to areas we self-identify for growth.

2021/2022 Building Support Structures (MTSS)

MTSS stands for Multi-Tiered Systems of Support, and it’s the structure each building will utilize in the fall to support any student who may have experienced less than typical academic growth during the previous school year due to the impact of the pandemic. Teams within each building started planning to leverage these support systems in the spring for the upcoming school year. Furthermore, each building principal shared a few details related to their MTSS building plan with the Board of Education in June of 2021. If you would like to learn more, you can access each building MTSS overview video below:

Education for Employment Program (E4E)

WHAT IS E4E?

All districts in the state of Wisconsin are required to have in place an Education for Employment (E4E) program. The purpose of this program is to prepare pupils for employment, to promote cooperation between business and industry and public schools, and to establish a role for public schools in the economic development of Wisconsin. The School District of Lodi E4E Program Plan can be found at the following link.
