Back to School... Like a Pirate
The theme at EJES for the 2018-2019 school year is... Like a Pirate. Our goal is simple.
Meet the EJES MIBLSI School Improvement Team
Meet The High Quality Teaching and Learning Project Team
Meet Our Leadership Team
I am excited to announce the Instructional Leadership Team at East Jordan Elementary. We are taking a different approach this year as we continue to improve our practice. Each of these fine members will serve as grade level coaches. The coaches will meet with teachers and identify goals and what is stopping them from having ALL student succeed. We will utilize the Essential Practices in Early and Elementary Literacy- Essential Instructional Practices for Coaches. Laura Reid, Tina McDuffie, Nate Dzwick, Jennifer Hewitt and Gwen Catt will support this initiative.
The grade level coach will help develop a parent liaison for (k-1) (2-3) (4-6). Once a month the parent liaison will meet with identified parents of students who are performing below grade level and provide specific strategies and resources to help their children at home. Students will be identified by our assessment data.
School Safety Update
We are trying our best to keep parents out of the hallway in the morning for the safety of our entire student body. We are running in some difficulty because we want to be a warm and friendly school and we also want to make sure 100% of our students are safe. Obviously, we cannot afford to have anything less than 100%. We are currently in the process of collecting data from local school districts to see what the common practice is at this time.
Preschool Update
We currently have 86 students enrolled in preschool. We have a wait list of 6 students at this time. All preschools are off to a fantastic start!
