Clallam Bay School

Clallam Bay Elementary is excited to share our 2026 Strategic Plan, a forward-thinking proposal designed to maximize teacher expertise and operational efficiency for our K-5 students. This plan outlines a shift toward content specialization and departmentalization to ensure every child receives high-quality instruction tailored to their needs.

Key Highlights of the Proposal:

• Departmentalization (Grades 2-5): Transitioning from self-contained classrooms to a model where teachers focus on their "Specialty" (ELA, Math, or Science) to deepen the quality of instruction.
• Foundational Stability (K-1): Kindergarten and 1st-grade classrooms will remain self-contained to ensure developmental stability for our youngest learners.
• Learning Acceleration: We are moving away from traditional remediation in favor of "just-in-time" support. This strategy uses scaffolding and push-in services to keep students engaged with grade-level curriculum.
• Holistic Development: Our afternoon schedule is dedicated to "The Whole Child," featuring enrichment in Technology, PE, Library, Art, and Gifted and Talented (GT) programming.
• Data-Driven Growth: We will continue to monitor student progress using MAPS, SBA, and STAR assessments through our new Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework.

Clallam Bay Secondary is proud to unveil its 2026 Secondary Strategic Plan, a roadmap designed to transform our school into a high-integrity, career-focused hub. Rather than reinventing the wheel, we are mastering the innovative models we’ve pioneered to ensure our students have the tools to succeed in a rapidly changing world.

Shaping the Student Experience:

• Career Pathways in Action: We are tailoring education to student interests, offering specialized tracks in Public Service, Creative Arts, Architecture & Construction, Business & Finance, and Trades.
• Real-World Experience: Students will be able to earn school credits through Paid Work Credits, connecting classroom learning with real-world professional responsibilities.
• Flexible Learning (HyFlex & ALE): We are formulizing an Alternative Learning Experiences (ALE) program and researching different HyFlex schedules, allowing students to learn in-person, at home, or in the community with flexible pacing.
• CTE & Industry Credentials: Our focus on Career Technical Education (CTE) allows students to earn graduation credits while gaining hands-on skills and state-approved Industry Credentials (IRC).

Driven by Student Voice

This plan was built by listening to our students. Based on their feedback, we are introducing more rigor, greater autonomy, and diverse curricular options—such as Game Design, Animation, and Law & Public Safety—to ensure they aren't just surviving high school, but thriving in it.

Our Commitment to Stability

Every fiscal and facility decision is tied directly to instructional goals, ensuring educational equity for our rural students while maintaining high-impact roles for our dedicated staff. By investing in this plan, we are keeping our students learning locally and reinforcing our commitment to community stability.
