The intervention program begins with the solid, standards-based core curriculum in reading and math. Students receive additional services in their areas of need using research-based intervention programs. Our Parent Community Network Coordinator and School Community Council host a number of Family Night events throughout the year. The Family Nights focus on topics such as standards-based instruction; parenting skills; helping your child succeed at school; test-taking skills; and showcasing student work. We believe that all students can learn, and we strive to provide the highest quality public school education possible to our students, including the individual supports that may be necessary for each student to meet his/her academic potential. |
