Going through the process of becoming an Essential School to watch forced us to reflect on our current educational practices. It confirmed for us what we do well and also helped us to focus on what we need to strive towards in the future.
Mostly, being an
essential school to watch means providing students with a caring, supportive,
and developmentally appropriate school culture that supports academic excellence
for all students. We are so proud of our teachers and students as this
recognition confirms that our focus on creating a school community where
"Everyone Matters, Everyone Cares, and Everyone Learns" (our school
ethos) is tightly aligned with what our state and nation value in quality
education.
