The Parent Community Teacher Team and the Faculty Advisory Committee will prepare written goals and objectives of this management council. A revised mission statement will reflect our new direction and be a visual reminder of our daily purpose, displayed throughout the school. Fifty percent of student achievement will be based on authentic assessment strategies such as portfolio assessment product evaluation and journal entries. The learning environment will be redesigned so that student follow a thematic curriculum and engage in real-problem solving activities that directly relate to their world. Our school community will develop wellness opportunities encompassing fitness, selfconcept, citizenship and school pride.
