 * What is the mission or vision of the organization?**As a result of the GAPSS Review completed in January 2009, the most important priority is our focus on the Unit Plan, which targets all core subjects. It provides a framework for consistent instruction and organizes the teacher's plans with an emphasis on curriculum standards. Within the Unit Plan, teachers are utilizing common summative assessments and will monitor student's progress through a new data excel sheet. The teachers will use this data to guide their planning and future assessments.**
