Our school community has a shared vision of high expectations for our learners. The focus will always be on the diverse academic, social, emotional and physical well-being of all students. Current school intiatives place emphasis on each student taking ownership of their learning by practicing critical, creative and self-regulated thinking. Reading and writing experiences are integrated into classroom instruction in a purposeful manner.
Technology is utilized as a tool to enhance learning and ownership.
Each year all teachers collaborate with their peers to determine trends and evidence of best practices in each instructional program. Our Maryland School Performance Assessment Program scores for 1999 - 2000 show improvement in many areas. This information is shared with the entire school community and used to identify our strengths and areas in need of improvement. The Oklahoma Road Middle School PTA provides support to students in numerous ways. Each student is provided with an Agenda Book sat the beginning of each school year.
