Our goal is to provide all our students with the skills and knowledge to succeed in high school and beyond. Developing strong skills in reading, writing and math is emphasized. Maywood's staff also recognizes the need to provide a rich variety of learning activities which incorporate the use of technology, student projects and presentations. Maywood's School Site Council feels that it is critical to provide students with training in the uses of technology. Site Council has provided the funding for two computer labs, at least one computer in every classroom and Internet access for all classrooms.
Every student takes typing instruction and an introduction to computers in sixth grade.
All Maywood's eighth grade students attend the Tehama County Career Day each year in Red Bluff. The State mandated minimum number of annual instructional minutes is 54,000 for our grade levels. Maywood School's instructional schedule exceeds this standard. Calculated by State guidelines, Maywood's annual instructional minutes are 56,352. There were no minimum days during the 1998-1999 school year.
