STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
It is our collective responsibility to ensure that our students have the resources and support to achieve success both inside and outside of our classrooms. We are committed to providing Literacy for ALL where formative assessments will occur daily in our classrooms. Data will be collected and analyzed by teachers and also in Professional Learning Communities where teachers meet to discuss and develop collaborative strategies to assist with student achievement. We are prepared to dig deeper by examining hard data and address student learning needs in order for students to remain on/progress to grade level and not fall behind. Response to Intervention is in place with the use of Multi-Tiered Systems of support and Interventionists in all of our schools. We will continue providing students with innovative opportunities in the area of STREAM education; including the advancement of Aviation. With all said thus far, none of this can occur without a strong focus on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). We, students included, have all experienced some sort of trauma or frustrations throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and together we must heal together. SEL has to be part of the fabric of our goal to improve student learning. As we return to in person learning for all, we as a school district are dedicated to building relationships with students and their families, to take the time to listen to students and recognize their needs and concerns, to work to identify potential barriers for growth, to provide resources to assist students academically,socially and emotionally, and to create a school culture that is inclusive and welcoming; A place where every child wants to be each and every day.

CLIMATE, CULTURE and #EHTPride
CLIMATE, CULTURE & #EHTPride
We are dedicated to learning together, growing together, and healing together within a positive school climate. Celebrations of recognition and reward for achievement, even the littlest steps, will occur in all of our schools as we value the importance of appreciation and respect. We have a lot of #EHTPride in taking care of our students and showcasing their achievements.
We are committed to setting a foundation of culture in our school that includes respect for diversity, inclusion and equity for ALL students and staff. To empower our school community to be positive, supportive, patient, and understanding.To unify all members around one central goal that includes nurturing a strong culture that allows students, teachers, staff, and community members to flourish as individuals and as a community.
With Every Hand Together, Every child, Everyday is provided a relevant learning experience. Our teachers collaborate in professional learning communities to review student progress in order to provide ALL students with the opportunity to learn at high levels. We know that in order to successfully educate each student, we must be cognizant of each student’s individual learning needs. This can only be accomplished if we work together to eliminate any predictability of achievement disparities by race, ethnicity, gender, language, disability, and/or economics. All faculty and staff participated in equity training during our professional learning days. Together, we can achieve more!
