Program
Program components that guide decisions:
-
Every student will be taught at a level and in a manner appropriate with his or her potential and ability.
-
Teachers will utilize a variety of instructional strategies and grouping practices to address the needs of all learners.
- Student placement involves staff and parent input. Placement is ultimately the responsibility of the Principal. Placement goals take into consideration:
-
- Academic, emotional and social needs of each child
- Relative balance within classes gender, mixed grades, ethnicity, abilities, etc.
- Appropriate peer groupings that promote a positive atmosphere for learning
- Unique educational needs (ESL, Special Needs, etc.)
-
Recognizing that it takes an entire community to educate a child, we welcome and encourage support, participation, and contributions from staff, parents, and other community members.
