The staff and students of our school take great pride in our academic achievements and exemplary programs. As you visit various links on our site, we hope you will learn of our absolute commitment to the achievement of our district's seven student learning goals.

     

    • Broad base of knowledge

    • Self-directed learners

    • Effective communicators

    • Collaborative workers

    • Informed/responsible citizens

    Each year our school will assist students in the development of individual improvement goals. Each year we establish school-wide goals for the year. Our school’s initial goals were to:

    - help all students feel comfortable and safe in their new environment

    - develop a caring community of highly motivated learners

    - establish student ownership, motivation, and pride in their new school

    - enlist the support and involvement of our parents and the community

    - establish high academic standards and expectations


    We hope you find your visit here to be worthwhile and that you are able to find answers to the questions you may have about our school. We will continue to maintain our site to provide the latest and most accurate information about our school. We encourage your questions and comments.
