Our staff works hard day in and day out to ensure that our students have the necessities to arrive at school ready to learn. With the shift in our focus to building our student’s ability to problem solve among their peers, it is important to meet the basic needs of our students.  What are some of the day-to-day actions we take to ensure our students are ready to learn?
