Close cooperation between the home and school is essential to promote the best interests of your child. Parents are encouraged to visit school and attend scheduled parent/teacher conferences.  If you do not have an appointment, please call ahead to schedule one with your child’s teacher.
 
We encourage you to make a difference in your child’s education by building positive and productive relationships with your child’s teachers and other staff members.  In addition, parents are invited and encouraged to participate in school activities.
 
It is our goal to provide our students with a safe learning environment while equipping them with skills they will need to be contributing and productive members of the twenty-first century.  Quality education takes a team effort.  Please join us in ensuring your child is on a winning team!

In closing, we pride ourselves in being a Title I School. What this means is we have goals that we press toward each and every day, as our motto implies, “Reaching Every Child, Every Day, in Every Way.”

These goals include:

1. Overall Percentage of students in grades K-3 on grade level by the end of the year will be 90%
2. Increase Parental Involvement in the academic lives of our students
3. Every child will graduate
4. Students in grades 3-5 will increase overall proficiencyin ELA from 43.4% to 50%
