Dear Parents and Students,

As we focus on student success, we will continue to develop and implement new procedures and programs in 2009-2010 to help our kids and the entire school community connect to the campus, which once again relates to the theme Building Connections.

This year, we will be focusing on three areas:

1. Continuing to increase the rigor and relevance of the curriculum. We have worked diligently to increase the level of thinking in our teaching, and to offer the students an educational experience that will benefit them in the future. Efforts include increasing the Advanced Placement and honors course offerings and the enrollment in these courses, providing certified teachers to teach the before and after school study tables, and offering TestGear to help students prepare for the AIMS, PSAT, SAT, and ACT tests.
    
   We have analyzed the data from the District Assessment Plans, AIMS results, and school improvement plans to better align our curriculum maps to the standards. This year we will institute a rigorous, four-hour block English Language Development Plan to assist our English Language Learners in their acquisition of the language.  
      
2. The 100% Initiative. The goal of the 100% Initiative is to ensure that 100% of our students will have a post secondary experience.  
      
3. Incorporating personalized learning into our teaching strategies. This is a proactive step in helping the Millenial learners have a more successful high school career.
    
   According to APlus+, personalized learning is “a unique, blended classroom and nonclassroom-based public educational model that is tailored to the needs and interests of each individual student." Personalized Learning is a 21st century, on the leading edge approach to public education that honors and recognizes the unique gifts, skills, passions, and attributes of each child. Personalized Learning is dedicated to developing individualized learning programs for each child, whose intent is to engage each child in the learning process in the most productive and meaningful way to optimize each child's learning potential and success.
   
    

Sincerely,

Jim Brunenkant
Principal
