School Vision and Mission

 

At Hathaway School we believe it is our mission to provide a quality education by ensuring that each student is known and appreciated.  Within a safe and orderly environment students will be encouraged to strive for high levels of academic achievement and become productive members of our culturally diverse community.  

 

To achieve our school vision and to meet the State Academic Performance Index (API) and Federal “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) targets for No Child Left Behind, we have implemented the following goals:

 

• Every child will be a proficient and independent reader by the end of third grade;
• English Learners will be equipped with the English language skills needed for academic success through daily English Language Development;
• Every child will meet mathematics and grade level standards;
• Integrate the use of technology to enhance standards-based instruction;
• Provide early intervention for students that have not mastered grade level standards which includes in-class modifications, Before and After School academic programs and Summer School;
• Provide a sustained professional development and coaching focused on teaching and learning and core academic subjects.  Training is aligned with the State curriculum frameworks and the district adopted standards; and
• Provide parents with information and feedback on their child’s academic progress and activities that encourage parents to become involved in the school’s activities.
