Welcome to
the Allen Avenue School Web site!
Allen
Avenue is a community of learners
with strong curricula supported by the use of technology.
We promote responsible risk-taking, critical thinking, problem
solving and active learning. We
make decisions that are guided by best practice for our children’s
success. In order for us to
realize the mission of the North Attleborough Public Schools-- Preparing
all students to be life-long learners and responsible citizens, we hold
our children to high academic standards and expectations for personal
behavior. We hold ourselves to
high standards as well. For
more than three years our school community has been implementing the North
Attleborough Comprehensive Literacy Model.
We will continue to refine our practice in Modeled, Shared, Guided
and Independent Reading, as well as the Writers Workshop to
strengthen our children’s writing. We
continue implementation of Everyday Mathematics in all of our
classrooms. Our report card and
the common assessments that are used to inform instruction have been a
powerful addition to our program at the elementary level. We
are a caring community, in which we honor and respect one another.
Mr. W., our custodian works very hard cleaning and maintaining our
school building and the grounds.
We hope that all members of the school community feel a sense of
pride in this lovely neighborhood school and treat it with kindness.
A
message that is repeated often in Allen Avenue publications and forums is
that parents are our partners and family participation is critical to
student success. Please check
the school and district calendars for upcoming events!
As your children’s first teachers it is critical that the lines of
communication between home and school be open.
We hope you enjoy our Web pages, and if you have any questions,
please use email or call the school. With
all members of our community of learners working closely together, 2007 –
2008 will continue to be another wonderful school year!
Sincerely,
Diane E. Santos, Principal |
