Our students are sixth graders in a low income area where most students are on free and reduced lunch. We are also a school composed of a high percentage of English language learners, so meeting the Common Core Standards takes extra work and very targeted instruction. However, we as staff, our students, and community are doing it with a lot of hard work! We set high academic as well as behavior expectations for all of our students. We expect our students to succeed and encourage them to be lifelong learners. While we are proud of our students, community and dedicated staff, now we need the supplies and materials to be better equipped to address our students' needs.
