What is Our School Wide Plan?
Each year our teachers , parents and leadership team meet to look at our school wide data to determine our focus for the year. We examine state assessments , district assessments, and classroom based student achievement data in order to get a full picture of the students we are serving.
As a team we set goals to meet the needs of all our children in literacy and math and to help build a healthy school culture. Throughout the year we revisit and revise the School wide Plan to ensure success for all Garfield students.
Included in the plan are: Garfield’s instructional methods, support services, budget, one-on-one tutoring, and the parent involvement plan.
If you’d like to see a copy of the School Wide Plan, please contact us.
