Instructional Focus: Through a school-wide effort, all students will show measurable growth in their ability to justify and defend their reasoning in writing. All teachers will increase rigor in the classroom by use of higher order questioning and lessons that promote inquiry and analysis. Growth will be measured by interim assessments and monthly constructed responses.

School Culture Focus: Through a school-wide effort, our staff and students will create a safe and inclusive learning community with the use of best practices from Teach Like A Champion, Well Managed Classroom and Positive Behavior Intervention System. These practices will be supported by school wide behavior and academic expectations and procedures. Intervention programs will be designed to meet the needs of the student, whether social, emotional, behavioral and/or academic.
