We are a Title 1 school servicing over 800 students From Transitional Kindergarten through Fifth Grade. A large population of our students are at our school on permit, both from within and out of our district. I have 38 students enrolled in my class. It's a tight squeeze for sure! Honestly, I wouldn't trade a single one of them! They are eager to learn, what more could a teacher ask for? This year we have extended our AVID program to Fourth Grade. This is helping our students to be better prepared each day and they are more focused when they arrive at school. We are making it clear to them that through proper preparation they can achieve any goals they set for themselves.
