There are several forms of communication that we have in place for our families. These include: parent/teacher conferences, teacher newsletters, Friday Folders, school webpage, parent/student handbook & calendar, PowerSchool, Class Dojo, the Principal’s Weekly for the Week, MTSS newsletter, literacy coach newsletters, QR codes with instructional videos, continuous improvement coach newsletters, Facebook, and more. Suggestions are always welcome as we strive to meet everyone’s communication needs. It is our goal to continue to find ways to connect with our diverse culture of families and students through more multilingual avenues.
Goal 2: Increase achievement to become an Average State Report Card Rated School
To meet this goal we will put in place high levels of academic achievement by means of:
- Hiring and maintaining certified teachers
- Professional development and professional learning communities with teachers and staff
- Use of iReady reading and math curriculum and data analysis
- Use of DreamBox math and data analysis
- All certified teachers have a common planning time
Goal 3: Maintain a Healthy and Safe School
We continue to host breakfast, lunch and our dinner program each day at our school. We believe in providing a safe and healthy environment so that our students can learn and grow to their full potential. Our school continues to provide PE to students each week for 60 minutes of health and fitness classes as well as 30 minutes of recess a day. These programs will encourage our students to make healthy lifestyle choices for years to come. We will continue to follow our District 6 health initiatives, policies and procedures.
