When we focus on knowledge, relationships, outstanding instruction, and collaboration, we can improve student outcomes. The document outlines ways the school builds relationships through activities like family nights and positive communication. It discusses providing outstanding instruction through data-driven planning, hands-on learning, co-teaching, and differentiation. Collaboration is fostered between administrators, teachers, students, families, and the community through meetings, partnerships, and shared decision-making. The goal is to increase knowledge for students, staff, and the community by strengthening these four pillars.
