How We Work
...is a school that is committed to ensuring that every student is educated in a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment and every educator teaches in an atmosphere which fosters a climate in which every voice is heard and valued.
...from a faculty who strive to provide research-based instructional practices to prepare and challenge all students to excel academically and to develop positive socio-emotional skills through a supportive collaboration of all stakeholders.
Transformational Leadership
...starts from the inside out, and shows up throughout the day in all the leader's interactions with staff, students, families, community members and district personnel. These interactions are infused with personal values, social and emotional intelligence, cultural responsiveness, and an understanding of interconnectedness. This philosophy allows us to build and support collective teacher efficacy.
