Our Goals

Math intervention will target specific skills and standards of each student's needs.

  4. Classroom walkthroughs will support implementing remediation and enrichment activities.

  5. Extended learning time activities will be utilized to close achievement gaps. All students in need of support will be invited to after-school tutoring.

  6. Professional Learning Teams will meet throughout the year to help ensure that we establish common goals and take collective responsibility for the learning of all students. 

  7. Each student will be administered a Star Reading assessment three times yearly to identify reading deficiencies and obtain a GE score.
