Our Mission
Our Mission is to work collectively to meet every student where they are in their learning and to ensure that all students are able to demonstrate mastery of essential content standards upon graduation. Teachers will construct and follow a commonly aligned curriculum and employ a variety of researched based instructional strategies. Teachers will use data to inform their instruction and will provide additional opportunities for students to demonstrate mastery of essential skills and content. Student learning will be evaluated through common assessments and students will receive constant formative feedback through the use of standards based grading.
