In addition to the information provided by state CRT assessments, the highly-trained staff has also works diligently to use other data sources to determine academic growth for all students. All teachers participate in weekly Professional Learning Community (PLC) meetings to use data to make instructional decisions, curriculum planning, and to monitor student growth.
At popular school-wide assemblies, students are recognized for academic improvement, citizenship, and classroom improvements. Students also receive positive behavior supports, gold tickets, when demonstrating behaviors emphasized in our BRUIN cheer.
