We continually strive to implement high quality educational programs aligned with the Common Core Learning Standards. We recognize that children develop and learn at diferent rates and in diferent ways. Because of this, we commit ourselves to ofering a high-quality K-12 curriculum aligned with district, New York State and 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 federal standards, and embedded into classroom lesson plans. Instruction and Learning at Red Hook High School Red Hook High School has consistently graduated large numbers of Regents diploma candidates and International Baccalaureate candidates, earning itself the distinction of being viewed as a high- 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 performing learning community. Te demand to prepare students with skill sets for the 21st century is driven by an increasingly competitive global society and rapid technological advancements, resulting in a heightened sense of accountability for performance. We embrace the challenge of functioning in an environment that demands increased rigor and expectations for performance by students as measured on high stake tests. Our commitment to success for and by all students dictates that being good is simply 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 not good enough. As a result, courses that were once considered reserved for post-high school study are now ofered at Red Hook High School. 31 Instruction and Learning at Linden Avenue Middle School Te phenomenon of high stakes testing and students contending with increased rigor and expectations for performance is prevalent at the middle school grades. Linden Avenue continues to focus on providing auguSt 2016 a quality continuum of special education and academic intervention services, as well as an intensifed SunDay MonDay tueSDay WeDneSDay thurSDay FriDay SaturDay focus on balanced literacy. Te presence of a strong pyramid of intervention is vital to ensuring that middle school students are indeed prepared to be successful at the high school level. Te middle school, 1 2 3 4 5 6 like the high school, is increasingly expected to develop students with the skill sets for the 21st century. More than ever, it is critical that middle school students are well prepared for the transition to more demanding high school curricula and graduation standards. Instruction and Learning at Mill Road Elementary School 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Both the Primary and Intermediate schools continue to provide programs and services that are standardized across both buildings while acknowledging the need for individual teaching/learning styles. Tere is tremendous parity in student achievement across both schools. Tis refects our eforts to ensure consistency in program and services. Te elementary level serves as the platform for the introduction of skill sets for the 21st century. Our staf focus on responsive teaching methods, a balanced approach 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 to literacy across the content areas, and the provision of a comprehensive pyramid of intervention, encompassing RTI, AIS, and a continuum of special education services.
