School, Family,
Community Partnership
This action team is comprised of parents, staff, students and community members
to address six types of involvement: Parenting, Communicating, Volunteering,
Learning at Home, Decision Making, and Collaborating with the Community. This
on-going committee will review the needs of the students and their families and
choose practices that will aid the school in meeting these needs.
Student Enrichment
Provides and/or supports experiences for the students in the arts and sciences
beyond the classroom. Our goal is to have teachers, parents, and the
administration collaborating to plan programs, which connect to the curriculum
and provide enriching experiences for every child in the school. (An expansion
of the traditional Cultural Arts committee to include all subject areas.)
