DescSchool-wide: We increased our onsite presence for our learning support team, including a new special education coordinator in addition the clinicial psychologist. We added funding to meet our diversity and inclusion goals, including funding for a part time librarian for the 19-20 school year so we can create a library for children that is more reflective of a diverse community and explicity teaches inclusion. We added soundproofing to the lunch room and multipurpose room to make educational and social experiences more enjoyable. We added offerings to clubs and sports, and improved the school grounds for safety and enjoyment by refreshing mulch in play areas, adding a new outdoor area for younger students, including a new play apparatus - a wooden train structure.Desc

Lower Elementary: We funded two weeks of teacher work to redesign the classroom and update benchmarks, scope and sequence of curriculum, and parent communication protocol on curricular happenings. The redesign of the rooms involved taking down a wall, purchasing new furniture, and adding new quality Montessori materials to the classroom.

We increased our Spanish and Music Together offerings for our youngest students and added new learning materials and a new play apparatus in the inside play area. We funded training for an assistant to earn her Montessori credential. We replaced dishwashers to reduce the preparation time teachers need to offer snack and meal service with real plates and glassware, in keeping with Dr. Montessoris method.

We funded summer work to be done on the Primary library renovation and book renewal. We created additional space for the teachers to store summer materials.
