SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT GOAL (from NDE State of the Schools Report)
Our K-12 school improvement goal is: "All students will improve their reading skills across the curriculum." In addition to two K-12 staff development action plans, each building -- Elementary, Middle School, and High School -- has created action plans to address improving students' reading skills across the curriculum.
