Welcome Back
We are very excited about this new school year. All of our students have met the Annual Measurable Outcomes in reading and math in grades 3 - 8. We have won a third year grant from the Goldseker Foundatioin to continue music classes. We have won a Goldsmith Foundation grant for class novels. This year we have become a community school with the assistance of GHCC and the Family League.
Last, but not least, we have become a Success for All school from Pre-kindergarten through grade 6. This is a research-based reading, language arts, and social development program based on the Common Core State Standards and Cooperative Learning.
