Our Staff 

2007-2008 StaffWe believe in a life-long love of learning, the pursuit of excellence, encouragement of creative and critical thinking, individual and collaborative problem-solving, and appreciation and acceptance of diversity.

Our new teachers are carefully recruited, screened and interviewed by a representative team of teachers and principal. Support within the school community is given by established colleagues, grade level teams and the principal during their first years of teaching. For example, grade level teams meet weekly to plan curriculum, share teaching strategies, instructional materials, and resources. Teachers willingly participate in peer-coaching and peer-observation activities to learn from each other and to work collaboratively for the benefit of students.

Our teachers have energy and and enthusiasm, coordinate skillfully with each other, and welcome parent participation.

In short...

We have a great staff!
