V.I.P. Day- August 19th
All students can learn.
Teachers promote learning through quality instruction and a commitment to the California Common Core Standards.
Students grow when held accountable and demonstrate responsible behavior.
The social-emotional development of students parallels academic growth.
We Believe. . .
IT’S ALL ABOUT PERCEPTION!
Middle School Perception
There is absolutely no research correlation between
success and family background, race, national origin,
financial status, or even educational
accomplishments.
There is but one correlation with success, and that is
ATTITUDE.
Thank You For Coming Tonight

GOLDEN EAGLE FAMILY!!
We are All in this Together!
