Good afternoon, Raven Families,
Thank you to everyone who attended this week’s parent-teacher conferences! We truly appreciate the opportunity to connect and to collaborate. If you were not able to attend, we would encourage you to reach out to your child’s homeroom teacher. Please note that any unclaimed items in the Lost and Found will be donated at the end of the week. Please stop by to check if anything belongs to your family!
Learning Update:
As shared during our School Council & Parent Association meeting in November, teachers at RTA spent the first couple of months reflecting on last year’s data. Capturing this work in the School Improvement Results Report (SIRR), we have identified two Areas of Growth:
1. Increasing Disciplinary Literacy
2. Fostering a Sense of Belonging
For further information, we encourage our families to review our School Improvement Results Report (2023-2024).
Using the SIRR, our school
engaged in School Development Planning for the 2024-2025 year. This document
aligns with CBE’s Education Plan’s priority areas and creates a foundation for
our professional learning and staff development. As a school, we have set a
goal that student achievement in writing will improve. For further information, we encourage families to
review our School Development Plan (2024-2025).
