Dialogue between families and school will be grounded in shared data around students' learning and success that reflects school wide goals.

We will set high expectations for success and prompt students to think deeply through questioning, inquiry, and application of knowledge. We will ensure student’s learning is monitored through on-going assessment and self-reflection.

Staff and students will understand how teaching points and strategies impact our writing, why they are important and how they are transferable.
