We are excited about Reading First and the opportunity it has given our school for resources to teach reading. While there are no quick solutions for optimizing reading achievement, through Reading First, our students will learn skills that will provide the basis for sound instruction that can and will prevent reading failure. The reading program at Elementary School will provide a rich, comprehensive program of instruction. Our common goal is that every child will learn to read at levels that meet or exceed grade-level standards.
Election We feel that open and clear communication between school and home is important to the success of our educational program. The student handbook will serve as a helpful reference to parents as they seek to provide academic support at home. Parents are important and necessary partners in the important job of educating the children of this community. Thank you for your commitment to our partnership.
We welcome your participation and support during the school year and solicit your ACTIVE membership in the PTO. Working together, we will be able to reach our collective and individual goals. We look forward to celebrating with you the achievements of our students.
