SCHOOL LEADERSHIP TEAM
The School Leadership Team (SLT) is a collaborative group of parents, teachers, staff, and our Principal that is mandated by State Law to represent all the various constituencies of the school.
The SLT meets monthly to discuss issues that affect our community, such as instruction matters, communications issues, how well our community is functioning, and other school-wide questions.
The SLT works with the principal to write our annual Comprehensive Education Plan. The SLT also serves as a meeting ground for teachers, parents, staff, and the principal to sit together and wrestle as a group with that year's key concerns in education and other school-wide policy issues.
