School Goals
Goal #1: Students K-7 will increase self-awareness and self-management skills to achieve school and life success
Why this goal is important? Several key sets of skills and attitudes provide a strong foundation for achieving school and life success. One involves knowing your emotions, how to manage them, and ways to express them constructively. This enables one to handle stress, control impulses, and motivate oneself to persevere in overcoming obstacles to achieve a goal(s).
Connection to School District Strategic Plan: SEL is an important part of helping students thrive. We implement a strength-based approach to inclusion that meet the diverse needs of all students.
Indigenous Connection (First Peoples’ Principles of Learning): Learning involves patience and time; Learning requires exploration of one’s identity; Learning involves recognizing the consequences of one’s actions.
Goal #2: To Improve students’ writing skills
Why this goal is important? Teachers have identified through classroom assessments, report card data and general observations that students need to strengthen their writing, specifically focusing on writing traits: word choice and sentence fluency.
Connection to School District Strategic Plan: In order for students to thrive they need to develop their communication skills and one way is through improved writing skills.
Indigenous Connection (First Peoples’ Principles of Learning): Using writing as a tool to communicate Indigenous perspectives across all curricular areas.
