Principal’s Message
Your child is enrolled at Park Elementary and you, the parent/guardian, have become a part of a school that is “Catching the WAVE!”
Welcome to Park Elementary where we have ….Winning Attitudes and Visions of Excellence!
All schools in the East Baton Rouge Parish School System follow the Strategic Accountability Plan (SAP). The BOLD GOAL is “to become an exemplary pre-kindergarten through 12th grade school system, with rigorous teaching and learning, where ALL students and adults meet HIGH expectations”. The SAP Motto -” The School System of Your Choice with High Expectations for ALL……… and ALL means ALL!”
Our Strategic Accountability Plan has three objectives:
þ Increase Student Achievement
þ Promote a safe, caring, and service –
oriented culture.
þ Improve communications and expand
community engagement.
Park Elementary will have a high quality school with a school culture that propels students to take responsibility for academic achievement and appropriate behaviors. All classroom climates will emphasize mastery and above of basic grade level skills, enrichment of advanced grade level skills, as well as, accelerated reading, teaching and learning for those students that are assessed at levels basic and above. The students that are in need of prerequisite grade level skills will be given intervention, Tier II and Tier III instruction and related academic activities to bring them up to the BASIC and above grade level skills. To accomplish high academics and appropriate behaviors we must share responsibilities between the school, child, parent, and the community.
What happens at school depends largely on what begins and happens at home. Children learn what they live! You are our students “first teacher” beginning before and at birth. Parent/guardians, your families are your child’s ROLE MODELS! They mirror what you are and what you do!
The Park W.A.V.E. will begin with you! We encourage you to visit our school, volunteer, support our faculty and staff, become a member the Parent-Teacher Organization, and become the school’s “partners in the education”. With our “Winning Attitudes and Visions of Excellence”, we will always work so that our School Performance Score can increase until we meet our State goals! We will push to make Park a school of EXCELLENCE!
Good Luck for a successful school year! Remember:
Our goal is to improve student achievement in a supportive, caring environment. We are going to have a GREAT year.
Sincerely,
Jessica Brister, Principal
