Dear Parents, Students and Community Members,
Welcome to Rainbow Elementary website. I am
very excited to announce that last year Rainbow
made AYP for the fourth year in a row! This
happened due to a commitment from our students,
teachers, support staff and parents. With the
goal of continued academic success this year we
have created a new mission. During the
2011-2012 school year our mission is to
provide every student with the ability to reach
his/her potential academically, socially, and
emotionally. The professional staff will
provide high quality, standards-based
instruction in all subject areas. Students
progress will be monitored based on feedback
from diagnostic, formative, summative, and
benchmark assessments.
Rainbow is committed to creating a shared
culture of respect and responsibility where
children feel confident in themselves and in
taking educational risks within the classroom.
Over the last few years the Rainbow faculty has
been trained in Responsive Classrooms. We are
committed to providing our students with a solid
base of academic and social needs. The
Responsive Classroom approach will lay a
foundation based upon: Our best knowledge of how
children learn developmentally, culturally, and
individually. Awareness that social and
academic learning go hand in hand and the belief
that all children want to learn and can learn.
The staff will continue to meet the needs of
students through differentiated instruction,
studying best practices within education, and by
setting long and short term goals for the school
as well as our students. Together with parents,
we will remain dedicated to teaching students
the importance of respect, responsibility and
making good choices in and outside of school.
Rainbow staff members are dedicated to nurturing
the unique individual inside of our students.
Together, we work diligently to prepare our
children to be caring, responsible human beings,
skilled communicators, and life-long learners.
Rainbow Elementary is a school that focuses on
learning and making sure our children grow
academically each school day. We encourage our
families to get involved and to participate in
the PTO during this school year. Together we
can partner to make our successes last a
lifetime.
Best wishes for a wonderful school year.
