We're most proud of our work around inquiry and communicating student learning. All of our teachers used FreshGrade this year, and we'll continue our learning around CSL in September and beyond. We'll also continue our work around inquiry during our collaborative time, which takes place during our school day with the help of our non-enrolling staff. We're on our way!

We developed a great network with our partner schools in Rutland (Rutland and Pearson Elementary) as we have moved forward on the interaction between numeracy and growth mindset.  We have a strong sense of family that has been reinforced this school year.  On a more personal level, I think about one of our students who began the year throwing tables and chairs and endangering the learning of all around him, but with support from our school and district team he has managed to self-regulate.  Yesterday he was on the field playing with many of his friends.  For him, and his classmates, it has been a very successful year!

We have collected two years of “scan” data through our school Spirals of Inquiry process from students, parents and staff and have consistently found that our school feels like a home away from home for our whole school community — that there is a strong sense of belonging, connection, and love. We are excited about our work on embedding the 7 principles of learning and creating innovative learning environments across the whole school. We have found that the development of our learning communities has only further strengthened our sense of family and connection within our school.

One focus from this year has been to work with students in areas beyond academic subject areas.  Our focus has been on social-emotional learning and has included us delivering specific content and skill-building sessions to students with a focus on building holistically stronger youth.  The school's focus on social-emotional learning has been successful and we have seen our students demonstrate incredible heart, kindness and an acceptance of others that is amazing.  We have seen many great examples of students stepping in to support one another and help others in their time of need.  The resiliency and compassion that many of our students show is something that we are very proud of and it is helping us create an inclusive culture at Central.  We will continue on this path next year and look to improve on this year's successes.
