and 7th grade that performed at the various possible
performance levels last year (09-10) on the ELA NY State Test.
These students are now our 7th and 8th graders.
8. Where Do We Go From Here?
1. We accept the challenge of higher academic
standards set by the state.
2. We support ELA initiatives across the curriculum.
3. We develop and carry out a plan to improve service
to ELL students.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
