At Harbor View Elementary School we believe that all students have the potential to be world class learners. We are committed to providing our students with the skills they need to succeed in college, career, and life.
One of the ways we do this is by incorporating technology into our curriculum. We believe that technology can be a powerful tool for learning, and we want our students to be able to use it effectively. We provide our students with access to computers, iPads, and other devices, and teach them how to use these tools to research, create, and collaborate.
Another way we help our students develop world class skills is by focusing on critical thinking. We want our students to be able to think for themselves, solve problems, and make informed decisions. We teach our students how to analyze information, evaluate arguments, and draw conclusions.
We also believe that communication is essential for success. We teach our students how to communicate effectively in a variety of formats, including speaking, writing, and listening. We also encourage our students to collaborate with each other and with their teachers.
Finally, we believe that creativity is essential for innovation. We encourage our students to think outside the box and come up with new ideas. We provide our students with opportunities to express their creativity through art, music, and writing.
Harbor View Elementary School creates a positive learning environment where every student is challenged to use critical-thinking and problem-solving skills to achieve their goals. Our dedicated teachers and staff work to create a school environment that is engaging and rigorous for all students using research-based curriculums and practices. Instruction has a focus on creating opportunities for collaborative experiences and interpersonal communication as a way for students to demonstrate their understanding of standards and learning targets.
We actively engage our community to foster a collaborative framework to ensure all stakeholders are invested in the outcomes and futures of our students. Through our PTA, SIC, MTSS framework, extra-curricular activities, teacher-parent relationships, and school communications, we strive to create a strong sense of community for our families. We put our students and families first to ensure that we create an environment that supports the whole child.
At Harbor View Elementary School we continue to support our district goal that all students will be reading on grade level by 2027. To reach this goal, we are implementing new reading, writing, and phonics curriculums to promote literacy for all students. We also utilize reading interventionists to target the specific needs of students through progress monitoring and small group interventions. Additionally, student data is collected regularly and teachers work collaboratively to analyze the results to best monitor and adjust instruction to meet student needs.
Harbor View Elementary School will continue to cultivate a welcoming and nurturing school environment that puts our students first and provides every possible opportunity for student success and excellence.
