Welcome to School Year 2025-2026

INSTRUCTIONAL FOCUS

To improve students’ reading comprehension, and expressive language, teachers will use explicit modeling and exemplars to build phonics skills, decode unfamiliar vocabulary, use academic language, deepen understanding of key ideas and details, and strengthen students' ability to describe and explain text.

​

Math Schoolwide Focus 

"Teachers will use explicit modeling and exemplars to build students' fluency and automaticity with numbers and operations, enhancing their ability to apply algebraic thinking in constructed response questions."

Mathematical Practice (MP1) - Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

Persevering with a task through to completion; remaining focused.  Searching for ways to reach your goal when stuck.  Not giving up.
