  1. Provide high-quality curriculum and instruction in a supportive and effective learning environment that enables participating children to meet the State’s student academic achievement standards as follows:
    All students will participate in the curriculum, which is driven by the Grade Level Content Expectations of the State of Michigan.  Students will be supported in a learning environment that provides multiple levels of instruction and considers a variety of learning styles.  Furthermore, teachers will utilize best practice, research-based teaching/learning and assessment strategies.  Local assessment data (grades) will be updated regularly and academic interventions will be applied to help students attain academic success as needed.

    Student progress will be reported to parents every six weeks with progress reports and at the end of each semester with report cards.  Parents will be given information on how to access students’ grades at Parent Orientation meetings and video information of how to access these will also be posted on our district website.  Parents of students’ experiencing academic/attendance/behavior impediments will receive calls home from the teacher, counselor, or administration.
