    Did You Know?

    Parents, students, teachers and faculty members work together to develop our school-parent compact. Each school year, two meetings are held for parents, teachers, and students to compare the compact with school data to review our progress and assess our goals. This compact is uniquely developed to meet the needs and goals of our school and students.  Parents can provide feedback on the compact at anytime during the school year.

    Increasing Literary Skills

    As a teacher - I will provide on grade-level reading materials which will enhance vocabulary skills through reading. I will provide a learning environment that is conducive to student learning success by implementing literature circles, book studies, student-led book talks and provide more “read-talk-write” opportunities.

    As a parent - I will  continue to provide my child with various reading materials or an environment that is conducive to reading, studying and keeping my child focused. For example, the library, a bookstore and a quiet study area at home.

    As a student - I will read more books, write more essays and poetry, practice learning the dictionary which will help to enhance my vocabulary.  I will also utilize my teachers as a resource when writing scholarship essays and learn more about writing blogs on different topics.

     

    Improving Math (Numeracy) Skills

    As a teacher - I will offer more group projects aligned with interactive and engaging assignments. I will also implement on-going interactive and engaging experiences to connect classroom learning with real life situations and I will incorporate more student-led teaching and demonstrations to monitor comprehension of topics taught. 

    As a parent - I will take the time to educate myself on different math skills in order to assist my child with improving their math skills.  I will ensure that my child spends an appropriate amount of time each week reviewing their math terms and skills.

    As a student - I will study more and take more notes to increase my note-taking and study skills. I will also utilize the resources available to help with studying such as having a peer tutor and participating in a math study group. 

     

    Building Better Writers

    As a teacher - I will provide more writing labs, one-on-one writing revisions and facilitate student-writing mentors as well as increased literary analysis for writing through text dependency.  I will also facilitate meaningful learning that is aligned with the language arts curriculum. 

    As a parent - I will encourage my child to write more often by sharing an experience they’ve had at school, in their community or in the classroom with their teachers.

    As a student - I will write more essays, poetry analysis and use the various different writing styles in my writing more often. I will educate myself on current events, learn about interesting topics and authors and write about something that I am passionate about.
