From being able to make connections between what they read and their own personal knowledge and experience, to organizing main ideas and supporting details in their writing, our students continue to develop fundamental literacy skills with great success.

Director of Education, Wm. J. Gartland, stated, “Our continued success is a direct result of our Board’s focus on achieving literacy for all. By working collaboratively, educators continue to respond to the diverse needs of our students, through the use of technology, inquiry learning, differentiated instruction and listening to student voice.”

Our school communities continue to engage all partners in collaborative and shared relationships for the purpose of intentionally improving student achievement.
