Our school and district are assisting all students in developing world class skills and life and career characteristics as outlined in the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate by continuing to provide an academic environment of high expectations for learning. Our objective remains for all students to have a positive learning experience and become productive lifelong learners. Students have worked hard this school year, and we continue to see growth. Carvers Bay Middle continues to provide support to teachers through the use of a school level instructional coach as well as district level curriculum coaches for each content area including technology. Our school remains vested in Professional Learning Teams that meet weekly to develop data driven long and short-term goals regarding instructional practices to ensure student achievement. This school year our main focus was continuing with school and district initiatives already in place to address the need of the whole child virtually and in person. The data provided from various assessments helped teachers develop plans for addressing identified areas of improvements and instructional practices were adjusted to move students towards desired learning goals.
With an emphasis placed on integrating technology into lessons, the district technology coach was instrumental in helping teachers by providing professional development in digital learning for virtual students, modeling the use of new and engaging technology, and meeting with teachers to plan new ways to implement multi-media. Through this focus on technology integration, students were provided with more opportunities which involved the use of technology to acquire, demonstrate, apply, and communicate information.
During the upcoming school year, we will continue to work to close the achievement gap and maintain safe and nurturing learning environments for all students. With the continued support and assistance of parents, community, and staff, we will provide the students of Carvers Bay Middle the opportunity to receive the best education possible. Again, we extend our gratitude to the PTO and SIC committees which continue to support the efforts of our students, staff, and teachers. We would also like to express thanks to our teachers, staff, parents and community members for their commitment to hard work and their continuous efforts in school improvement which assuredly will result in academic gains for each student at Carvers Bay Middle School.
