Our original Literacy Plan is in place, and we want to keep this work evolving and focused on current student needs.

Each year we give this important survey to parents, students, faculty and staff to evaluate how we are doing in a variety of areas. We will be surveying everyone in the month of November again. Please be on the lookout for the request to complete the online survey. Our data from the last fours years is consistently positive and indicates our EXCELLENT EFFORTS are WORTHWHILE and WORKING! Check out our results from last year overall compared to others in the state, and our results in detail. While we had some drops in some areas which we need to examine, overall we still increased our indicators to show positive growth. We do want to focus in and look at the areas that dropped and are asking Departments and staff to review and discuss this data prior to our Nov. 5 All Faculty and Staff Admin led PLC time.
Thank you to ALL of the Clubs, Athletics and individuals who continue to WEAR PINK in October in support of this important awareness and education month. Below, the Girls Varsity Volleyball team got into the spirit as well.
