Ebinport Elementary is helping all students develop the world-class skills and life and career characteristics of the Profile of the Graduate by working alongside families and our community, cultivating and nurturing lifelong learners to excel in an interdependent global society. Ebinport offers exposure to Spanish to every student. Ebinport also houses a Spanish Immersion program for students in grades Kindergarten through 5th that expands to middle school. These school wide initiatives are offering students additional opportunities for eventual employment in the global community. This year we have seen many students making a years growth in reading and math. We attribute this accomplishment to having master teachers at every grade level, involved families and motivated students. Professional development opportunities included a focus on Lucy Calkins Units of Study in Writing. Additionally, our Reading Coach has provided customized professional development to teachers on a weekly basis. We continue to strive to serve our students and our families by doing whatever it takes to meet the needs of students. Ebinport SIC has worked to achieve several goals this year. One goal was to support our school's efforts in increasing attendance and decreasing tardies. This has been accomplished through increased efforts during the 2017-2018 school year. Our SIC also focused on school health and wellness. Our school will began the 2017-2018 school year with an intentional focus on cultivating health-conscious students. In years past, we have focused on increasing parent communication. We plan to continue to work toward this goal in years to come; we know the importance of communicating with all stakeholders and feel it is necessary to keep this goal at the top of our priority list. Ebinport also participates in a partnership with The Alliance of Therapy Dogs for EbinPAWS. EbinPAWS (Partnering Animals with Students) visit classrooms once weekly to allow students to read with the dogs. Also, Ebinport partners with Williams & Fudge, a local company, who allow employees release time to mentor students. Finally, this year Ebinport has partnered with State Farm Insurance: Andrew Brownfield to recognize a teacher of the quarter for going above and beyond the call of duty! Ebinport is extremely grateful for the support we receive from families and the community. We are a school where children want to learn and teachers want to teach because of the commitment of all stakeholders. Ebinport Elementary: One School, One Voice, One Vision.
