At Hammond Hill Elementary, we demonstrate our commitment to ensuring all students are successful and excel by tracking student data, utilizing researched based instructional strategies, and providing timely interventions and acceleration opportunities such as SPIRE, Bridges Math, Project-based learning, Break-out boxes, and multilingual learner support.
