School Learning Plans and Initiatives
The staff at Pinecrest believe that our students are capable of achieving great results! To ensure that students are achieving to the best of their ability, administration, in collaboration with staff, examines the Board Improvement Plan, school data and student needs to develop and revise a school wide learning plan on a regular basis. The plan is a “live” document that is focused and realistic based on the students being taught and the needs in the classroom. A strong emphasis has been placed on Literacy and this will continue. In conjunction, a focus towards transferring literacy skills to math will be added to develop greater proficiency of basic numeration skills in order to creatively solve various mathematical problems using a variety of strategies in all grades.
