ARNO MISSION
ARNO ELEMENTARY…INSPIRING STUDENTS TOWARD ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE.
ARNO VISION
ARNO ELEMENTARY PROVIDES A SUPPORTIVE HIGH QUALITY ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE TO INSPIRE ALL LEARNERS TO ACHIEVE THEIR PERSONAL BEST.
ARNO COLLECTIVE COMMITMENTS
-
Academics are student-centered, which allow for various learning styles to showcase student achievement.
-
We will develop and maintain a positive, respectful relationship with each student by using flexibility and adaptability to meet individual needs
-
We will foster safe learning environments that allow students the opportunity to establish a growth mindset
Tutoring
Another call for anyone interested in doing tutoring before or after school. Before school tutoring will be for whole group tech (like Edmentum) @$30 per hour. After School tutoring can be either tech at $30 for one hour OR small group at $60 per session (includes planning period. We have a number of 3rd grade students who would benefit and this is a great opportunity to help them increase their scores.
Data Dive
Our next Data Dive is coming up on March 6, the signup is below. In the meantime, now is a great time to review your quadrant chart from the latest testing. It will give you a great idea of where your growth is at, and who needs to accelerate to get into that high growth, high achievement grid area. Below are some questions to ponder about your chart:
-
In reviewing your Low Growth, Low Achievement Quadrant (Pink). How many students are there and how will you adjust your instructional program to meet their needs (i.e. alter groups, use resources from Scholastic book room, new strategies, etc)
-
In reviewing your Low Growth, High Achievement Quadrant (Yellow). How many students are there and how will you adjust your instructional program to meet their needs (i.e. alter groups, use resources from Scholastic book room, new strategies, etc)
-
In reviewing your High Growth, Low Achievement Quadrant (Peach). How many students are there and how will you adjust your instructional program to meet their needs (i.e. alter groups, use resources from Scholastic book room, new strategies, etc)
-
In reviewing your High Growth, High Achievement Quadrant. How many students are there and how will you continue to support their growth? (i.e. increase text levels using the Scholastic Book Room)
