Wayne Bricker Elementary is a large public school located in a neighborhood on the southeast side of Colorado Springs. Established in 1980, it is named after Wayne Bricker, a former Superintendent of Harrison School District 2, who received accolades such as Superintendent of the Year in 1975 and Educator of the Year in 1977. Bricker Elementary serves 270 students in grades K-5. Approximately 93.5% of our students qualify for free and reduced lunch, 31.7% are identified as English Language Learn…
ers (ELL), 14.2% receive Special Education Services (SpEd), 84.8% are minority students, and 1% qualify for Gifted and Talented Services (GT). Our diverse population includes 71.8% Hispanic, 15.2% Caucasian, 7.4% African American, and 4.5% Multiracial students. Â Our dedicated staff includes 14 certified teachers, 3 specials teachers, 3 reading interventionists, 1 instructional coach, 2 culturally and linguistically diverse educators, 3 special education teachers, 4 instructional paraprofessionals, and 8 special education paraprofessionals. The special education department offers services for moderate needs, TAP (Autism), speech/language, and occupational/physical therapy. Additionally, our committed building team consists of 3 technicians, 4 nutritional services personnel, and 2 office staff. We have partnered with CPCD to offer 2 preschool programs for our community. Our staff provides quality educational services, focusing on high-quality instruction and community partnerships. In recent years, we have established partnerships that address student needs through mentorship, food, clothing, scholarships, and more. We offer outstanding art, music, and physical education alongside impactful core instruction. Â Bricker Elementary utilizes CKLA for English Language Arts (ELA) and Eureka Squared for Mathematics. Additional opportunities are provided for students in Gifted & Talented, Special Education, and Culturally & Linguistically Diverse Education. We set building, class, and individual student goals, guided by our vision and mission statement created by our students: Vision: Â We Create Greatness. Mission: Â All Belong, All Learn. All Lead, To Succeed. The administrative and leadership team meets regularly to create and review the Unified Improvement Plan, focusing on major strategies, root causes, and action steps. Building needs are assessed using achievement data from iReady, Acadience (DIBELS), and CMAS. Our focus will be on instructional practices, emphasizing data-driven decisions in ELA and Math, with clear expectations for staff. Â We are committed to developing the whole child with a social-emotional emphasis, promoting leadership through Bricker's Expectations Handbook and Restorative Practices during daily social-emotional learning times. The plan outlines systematic steps to achieve student success and building goals, with staff regularly reviewing the Unified Improvement Plan. Responsibilities are assigned quarterly and cross-referenced with student achievement results through assessments and team planning. We teach the Colorado State Academic Standards through CKLA Literacy and Eureka Math Squared, incorporating technology-enhanced learning via iReady Math and Reading Instruction, CKLA, and Eureka (Equip) through platforms like CANVAS, TEAMS, and Nearpod. At Bricker, all staff work together to meet student needs. Designated time is allocated for staff to collaborate as a professional learning community to analyze data, plan instruction, and develop a multi-tiered system of supports for students needing additional instruction. We engage in whole staff meetings and small teams to advance building initiatives and reflect on our progress. We are dedicated to the belief that all students will learn, achieve, develop leadership abilities, and contribute to our global community. Our students are leaders today and the leaders of tomorrow.
