In order to help students make better choices we are proud to have the Riverhead police bring D.A.R.E. to our school. We have an ongoing project with Alternatives, a social service agency in our community, to work with our children in helping them to make better choices with drugs and alcohol. Roanoke is proud to be a collegial, collaborative, multicultural school community. Children, parents, staff, and principal collaborate and cooperate in the quest of excellence for all. Teachers have become architect designers of curriculum with ongoing, embedded assessments in their lessons.
Teachers talk concretely about teaching as they observe other teachers.
They share expertise and ask for and provide assistance to each other as well. The emphasis is on critical thinking and New York State standards. Students are encouraged to solve problems, assess their own goals, and reflect upon their own work as they set goals for improvement. Everyone who enters our historic building recognizes our family-like atmosphere where parents, teachers, and children feel welcome. We are truly one world and one family, the Roanoke family.
