Dear Parents,
We are seeking our parents' input regarding “Academic Rigor” for your child. We define academic rigor as “the educational experience that engages students in content appropriate to their academic level and helps them learn to analyze, evaluate, and ultimately create.” Over the last two years, to bolster our educational programs, we have employed a new STEM teacher, a new writing expert highlighting critical thinking skills, and a new Individual Academic Support Director. Also, to enhance our curriculum, WVCS has added a new writing curriculum (College Board Springboard), added a new math curriculum (Reveal), added a new science curriculum (Elevate), created two math paths in Middle School and purchased $75k in educational resources. Now is an appropriate time for us to collect your feedback so that we can identify the effectiveness of these efforts to reach all learners. If you have additional time and would like to discuss your insights in person, please schedule an appointment with Mr. Swales to discuss any of the following topics.
