School Mission and Vision
The Building Leadership Team met on Friday 3/2 and continued our discussion of our mission and vision for our school.
WE ARE SO EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE AND SHARE OUR FIRST DRAFT OF OUR VISION STATEMENT!!!! The vision statement encompasses where we want to be as a school in five years. It is our overarching goal.
Please review with your teams- we would love your feedback!!!
OUR VISION IS TO CREATE A GROWTH-ORIENTED ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, HIGHLY REGARDED FOR DEVELOPING WELL-ROUNDED AND EMPATHETIC LEARNERS.
End of 3rd Quarter/Report Cards

Academic Learning Supports Team Process
2. If in fact you try the interventions and suggestions provided by the Teachers Helping Teachers team, and do not see an improvement in the child's performance, you may then complete the Academic Learning Supports Team form and submit required documentation to Michelle Dzik or Jane Wiorkowski. At that time, the ALS Team will review the documentation and determine IF a child is in need of an evaluation. The team may also determine that other inteventions should be attempted BEFORE possibly moving forward for an evaluation. Please know that the goal of the ALST team is not to solely evaluate students, but to support you and the student and exhaust all interventions and options before possibly moving to that step. Sometimes the outcome of collecting and submitting the data to the ALS Team will result in a child being evaluated, however.
If you have any questions please come see Michelle. :) Thanks!

Please make sure to choose a pre-observation date/time, a formal observation date/time, and a post conference date/time. (Please choose two dates for formal observations if you are non-tenured.) You will see there is only one AM time and one PM slot available each day for meetings/observations. I need to have summative evaluations for non tenured staff completed in March. I need to have summatives for tenured staff completed by early May.
Mr. Munoz will be completing informals and formals as well. Thank you, and please let me know if you have any questions!
