Reading Language Arts

We Believe:

  • All students should be given equitable access to a rigorous and relevant Reading Language Arts curriculum that empowers them to become effective thinkers, readers, writers, and learners. 

  • Reading, writing, and the strategies that support those skills directly contribute to student success in all content areas and disciplines.

Our mission is to support the development of literacy, to meet the needs of diverse learners, and to continuously learn and improve in order to help students become productive citizens in the 21st century.
