Our school has successfully adopted the Success For All reading curriculum during the 2021-2022 school year and it has already had a significant impact on our students' reading achievement. All classrooms are equipped with a Chromebook cart for student use, along with a Smartboard, teacher laptop, document camera, and writing pad.
