TIME TO READ
Putting Students First
Committed to creating successful life-long learners in a diverse learning environment by building a strong foundation in student achievement through rigorous data driven instruction, character education, social emotional well-being, and a rich culture of reading.
Vision:
We strive to continue the pledge of putting students first and we continue to commit to build a strong culture of successful life-long learners, through the building of strong relationships. We will focus on safety, student achievement through rigorous and data driven instruction, character education, social-emotional well-being, and building a culture of reading in a diversity rich learning environment. We believe that all students are empowered to achieve success when immersed in a powerful learning community that values a diverse student body and is centered on core values as well as a shared commitment to achieving academic excellence. It is our belief that as we focus on our mission and vision for our students, our school grade will improve from the current C and rise to an A.
