This year we will operate as an innovation school in APS’s ACTION Zone. This gives us more opportunities to design a school that meets the needs of our students. Here are some of the changes under our innovation status:

Extended School Day 8:00am-3:15pm
-
Every student will receive a literacy intervention or enrichment lesson during the school day
-
We have adjusted our professional learning for teachers so they are in the classroom more and there are less guest teachers teaching students

We will develop students’ global leadership skills

We have created leadership opportunities for families through Parents in Action and Write Our World Crawford.
