School Goals

We promote student success through effective school-wide systems. We promote regular attendance through general awareness, attendance competitions, and attendance recognition. We create a supportive culture and climate through clearly articulated, explicitly taught, and consistently reinforced schoolwide and classroom expectations, incentives, recognitions, and consequences. Our professional learning is driven by data, supported by research-based strategies, and delivered by teacher leaders and community partners.

State Goals

The Oregon Department of Education is partnering with school districts and local communities to ensure a 90% ontime, four year graduation rate by 2025. To progress toward this goal, the state will prioritize efforts to improve attendance, provide a well-rounded education, invest in implementing culturally responsive practices, and promote continuous improvement to close opportunity and achievement gaps for historically and currently underserved students.
