Durham Elementary School: You Have a Hand In It for 2007 – 2008!
Our theme for
the 2007 – 2008 academic year is: TEAMWORK WORKS!
A phrase that relates to the worlds of sports,
business or student achievement.
The BEST schools explore ways in which
they can be BETTER by intensively fostering
significant growth that occurs within a supportive environment for
students and teachers.
Within this
context, our learning community will pursue the following CISD goals,
in distinctive Durham Dragon style:
Goal #1 Raise the academic
challenge and performance of each student;
Goal #2 Ensure quality
personnel in all positions;
Goal #3 Provide a school
environment supportive of learning;
Goal #4 Effectively manage
and further develop financial resources;
Goal #5 Improve public
understanding and support of public schools.
STAR Goal Each student
quickly identifies many talents as a STAR in our
differentiated,
interest-based,
challenging curriculum. BE PRESENT TO WIN as we focus on a
continuing student need for prompt,
regular student attendance. I request that we all support
good
attendance habits leading to an exceptionally
productive school year at our wonderfully
refurbished school.
Welcome to an exciting new year! See you at school…
Yours
respectfully,
Betty McIlvain,
Ed.D.
Principal
