ADMINISTRATION’S VISION, MISSION AND GOALS

    “No Child Left Behind” will be the philosophy used for our mission of reorganizing, restructuring and rethinking. The continued challenge of adapting these goals means implementing a change with new, innovative and highly creative methods which are linked directly to a newly enriched focus on student improvement and success.

    The Learning Standard for New York State is a directory of the types of objectives necessary to meet the high expectations of the state of New York for each subject category. Our district’s curriculum is linked directly to the State’s standard. The “Reading First” initiative will become the essential building blocks to achieve excellence for all. The model has five essential components of effective reading instruction. These priorities are the following:

        - Phonemic awareness            - Fluency
        - Phonics                            - Vocabulary
        - Comprehension

    This scientifically based reading research for teachers will be used as a guidepost to helping us design and implement our program and curricula.

    We will maintain a “learning place” which will foster high, clearly defined goals, a shared vision and an effective team mission. Open, honest communication will be the key to our continuous progress, therefore, every effort will be made work cooperatively with teachers, parents, students and administration.

    The task of the leadership team will be to build a community through literacy. Our goals will be to stimulate attitudes of positive performance which will allow each child to achieve their fullest potential; to expose the students to a broad bank of knowledge through research and theory in order to spark their interest for education; and to prepare them with the skills which will allow them to process the wealth of information needed to assure them the ability to read on level by third grade.

    As a community of learners, we will pledge ourselves to excellence and strive to be the best performing Early Childhood Center; we will begin with the end in mind and accept nothing but the best from our students and deliver nothing but the best of ourselves. We will strive to uphold the district’s mission of: “Putting children and families first to ensure high academic achievement for all.”
