We operate as 1 school even though we are 9 miles apart. We have created a shared mission and vision statement. Our team has combined staff meetings, the same school/bus rules/expectations, similar materials and instructional practices are the same within each grade level and instruction and curriculum is connected from grade to grade. Our anti-bullying team and Student Assistance Team have members from both schools.
We have worked very hard over the past 5 years to move from a school on the State Priority School list to a school that is meeting the standards in all areas. We have received state awards two year in a row for Most Improved School in reading and math. This year our students scored very well on the MEA's meeting and exceeding district and state scores in many areas.
