In this sixth issue of the Report on Teaching and Learning, we describe our accomplishments and plans for our school. We hope this report gives you a better picture of what students are experiencing and accomplishing in our school. If you have specific questions about your child's performance or this report, please contact the school. The Haley School mission is to implement a comprehensive program with high academic and social expectations for the entire Haley community in a safe, motivating and engaging learning climate.
Classes start with the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance and the Pledge for Peace.
Self-control time gets us ready for learning and is used throughout the day as needed. During the school day, our students focus on literacy and mathematics through large instructional blocks of time. Students read on level daily in a guided reading period with their teacher. Students are made responsible for their work and keep notebooks of writing and reading responses. Mathematics is taught through a hands-on, investigative approach where journals are used for narrative explanations showing multiple ways to solve a problem.
