October

Dear Parents,

It’s hard to believe that we are in the third month of school.  We had a great opening, and all students are settled in their classes.

Each year, every school in the Cobb County school district, has to develop student achievement and school performance goals.  These goals are determined by the use of many local, state and national assessments.  Mountain View Elementary’s School Strategic goals for the 2009-2010 school year are:

1.       Students will demonstrate proficiency at or above grade level in math.

2.      Teachers will increase the degree to which they either support or implement the instructional use of technology in their classroom.

As a staff, we will collect data on these goals to determine our strengths and weaknesses.  This data will guide our instruction with students throughout the school year. 

Mountain View Elementary traditionally performs well on State and National assessments.  However, we know that this would not have been possible without the strong home/school connection that exists at Mountain View.

To be able to reach these goals in the School Strategic Plan successfully, one of the activities planned will be continual staff developments.  If you did not participate in the parent trainings to volunteer in classrooms on September 1^st or 2^nd, please consider participating in the training on October 2^nd or 5^th at 10:00 a.m.

As always, thank you for supporting your children and our school.
