KEEPING YOU INFORMED
This report is a summary of some indicators of the performance of our school. No single report can tell the whole story of our school’s educational program or the people who work and learn here. We encourage you to find out firsthand by visiting our school.  If you are a parent of one of our students, we invite you to take an active role in your child’s learning because studies show that when parents are involved, students do better in school.

HOW WE ARE IMPROVING
We received a grant in 2006-07 called the Kindness Campaign, where Suze Rutherford a nationally known educator will be coming to our school to train the staff and students in respect and bullying issues.  We have started a good referral system at school that catches students being good, or doing what is right.  We have a student of the week program, where a student is picked from each grade as student of the week.  The winners for each month will have pizza with the principal.  We have added a computer program called, Parent Connect.  This program allows parents to access their child’s school records for each class.  We have started Town Hall Meetings with the grade levels during advisory period every other week.  We started a new demerit system within our discipline plan in 2007-08.

OUR SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

Our goal is to provide a place for students to learn without distractions and concerns for safety. We closely monitor activities on our campus and offer comprehensive programs to prevent alcohol, tobacco, and substance abuse. As required by state and federal laws and rules, we collect, monitor, and report on crimes and substance abuse incidents on our campus and at school activities. A complete report of this information about our school and district is available at: http://www.sde.state.id.us/ipd/reportcard/SchoolReportCard.asp or by contacting Bonnie Farmin in our school district.
