Message From the Principal

Effective Education


We invest a lot of energy and resources into continually improving our academic, behavioral, and social skills training programs. We have adopted several evidenced-based programs to facilitate student growth.

Currently we are using the SRA Direct Instruction programs to provide remedial instruction for students in the areas of decoding, comprehension, math, and expressive writing.

For students functioning on or above grade level we augment our approach through the use of the PLATO Web Learning program. This program provides computer-based instruction and allows students to move at their own pace.

In order to address social skill deficits we are using the Skillstreaming program in the elementary classrooms and the Prepare Curriculum in the middle and high schools. Skills taught in the classroom are reinforced throughout the day.

One method we use to make our approach more effective is through the evaluation of extensive student performance data such as the process of evaluating student outcomes in decoding and social skills.
