We have lots of strong, dedicated staff and there are pockets of inspiration. One here is the volunteer program, which has served our students and staff across generations and ethnic backgrounds. It is showing success and giving the community a positive sense of success in being part of this school. I am a student teacher, not a parent. I look to what I ve learned in the classroom.
Parental involvement is a key to success and that is happening here.
We are actually seeing that what we re doing works. It is valuable. There is a feeling of openness in the district, a feeling of looking to the future. Pilot programs for helping kids reach standards give staff a personal as well as a school-wide goal. People truly care about the education of kids and not just leaving as soon as that bell rings.
