Hiawatha Community School Handbook & Calendar Hiawatha Campus/Howe Campus

Manual y Calendario De La Escuela Comunitaria Hiawatha/Howe

Dear Students and Families,

 

Welcome to the 2015-2016 school year. This handbook is designed to help you find the answers to questions that you may have about programs and procedures at Hiawatha Community School.

 

As a district one of our top priorities is Focused Instruction. We are working in close collaboration with teachers, school leaders, students and families to build the infrastructure needed to support Focused Instruction, including curriculum guides, benchmark assessments, a new student data system and common interventions. We will continue to have classrooms where all students are engaged in learning opportunities where they will meet or exceed the high standards.

 

During the 2015-2016 school year, we will continue with establishing our clear expectations for all students. Our teachers will continue to provide learning experiences and curriculum that are rigorous and are designed to meet and exceed the learning potential for all students.

 

Our teachers have been meeting to plan for the upcoming school year. They have focused on developing strategies to accelerate student achievement in all academic areas. They have given time and effort to make sure that this school year is a successful one.

 

At Hiawatha Community School, we will strive to achieve our mission through the joint efforts of our teachers and families to provide clear expectations, a learning environment in which children feel welcome, safe, and empowered for academic success. We will also support the Minneapolis Public Schools’ vision of making every child college and work force ready.

 

I look forward to an exciting year of learning together at Hiawatha Community School serving Hiawatha Campus and Howe Campus.

Sincerely,

Deb Regnier, Principal & Kevin Oldenburg, Assistant Principal
