From the school

"School newsletters are sent home in English and Spanish. Teachers send monthly newsletters, and progress reports go home every other week with the students academic, behavior and attendance status. Report cards are issued three times a year. Test scores are sent home. Parent conferences are held in the fall and as needed. Monthly parent nights are held and they focus on literacy and mathematics. We hold a kindergarten round-up in the spring to enroll new students. Parents volunteer at school. Parent surveys are mailed home, and results are discussed with staff. School committees have parental input. We hold meetings to inform parents about school issues. We provide a Safe-Key program before and after school. During reading week parents and community members are invited as guests to read to our students. After-school programs aim to all ages and needs, and they run throughout the school year, serving almost five hundred students. After-school, adult ESL classes are held on school grounds, serving approximately fifty parents. Parents are involved with the East Region Parents As Academic Leaders (PAALS), which is an organization to improve parent involvement at the school and region levels."
