From the Principal

 Dear Parents/Guardians,
 
As you may know we are in the process of class formation for the 2011-2012 school year.  It is a process that takes much time and that since many factors are considered, the criteria that guides class placement includes the following: student learning style, academic profile, social, student/teacher relationship and special circumstances.  Most imprtantly, we strive to create balanced classes in which children have academic peers, friends, as well at the opportunity to develop a strong relationship with his or her teacher..  It is fair to say that not all of the criteria may seem important; some criteria may have to be emphasized over others.  Due to the complexity of this process, we cannot accept requests for specific teachers.  If you have any further information that would help us in this please send me an e-mail or letter.
 
We are fortunate to have such a strong teaching staff at Park Avenue School and we look forward to your child having a successful, happy year wherever they are placed.
 
Sincerely,
 
Mrs. Rosa Taylor
Park Avenue School Improvement Plan
  5 Major Goals
 
 Goal #1:  To raise levels of student achievement by providing increased opportunities for language and literacy development in all classrooms.  To implement this goal we intend to strengthen the ability of children to demonstrate their understanding of written and oral texts beyond the literal level through well-organized and thoughtful writing and the effective use of language mechanics.
 Goal #2:  to maintain a high level of student achievement in mathematics by providing opportunities for students to solve multi-step problems, make predictions, identify arrangement and patterns, explain reasoning, draw conclusions and analyze situations.
 Goal #3:  To continue to offer greater opportunities for parent and broader community involvement at Park Avenue through the implementation of a community school program.  Broader community involvement will not only enrich our instructional programs but help Park Avenue families secure the resources they will need to improve the quality of their lives and the readiness of their children to learn and experience success in school.
 Goal #4:  In order to ensure a safe school environment and promote the cognitive, ethical and social-emotional growth of students.  Park Avenue will expand its efforts to implement comprehensive Character Education grades K-5.
 Goal #5:  To implement the use of technology across the content areas to enable students to achieve the National Technology Standards and to use technology as a means of enhancing and modernizing communication among professions within the district, and among the school's faculty, parents and students.
