Overview
Mission

What it reported doing in 2024
Elementary & Secondary Education, General/Other: Family Engagement/Student Programs - We promote reading throughout the year by purchasing books for our library, hosting book fairs (1 Fall and 2 Spring), plus awarding 2 special grants: RAZ Kids (online reading tool), and a stock of diverse reading books for classrooms & our school library. The Friendship Directory is available to all parents to provide a tool to promote engagement and interaction. We increased morale and a sense of community while promoting involvement among students by producing a Trunk or Treat event in the fall, a Movie Night, a Bingo Night, a Glow Dance, and popcorn Fridays. We promote and enhance critical thinking skills and STEAM studies throughout the year by providing an Art Docent program, Chess program, Robotics Club for 4th and 5th grade students, & PAWS (wildlife) program. Enrich student experiences, promote educational ideas, and provide recreation throughout the year with programs like Reflections, Aquasox Reading Program, Assemblies, and After School classes (Lego, Coding, Chess). We encourage physical activity by offering Running Club to all students. The Watch D.O.G.S. program promotes the involvement of fathers and father figures during the school day. The Sea Pups program communicates information to incoming Kindergarten families and creates family involvement. The Fifth Grade Moving Up Ceremony, Celebration & Dodgeball game occurs in the spring, and is an opportunity for 5th Graders to celebrate moving up to middle school and their accomplishments with their families.
