School Improvement Plan

The school improvement plan has originated from the director of CEO Tim McDonald using the LEAD Acronym. As a staff we developed SMART goals for each area of the Acronym LEAD. SMART goals are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timed.

All staff have worked together to establish these goals in 2018.
