We seek to sustain an educational community where an emphasis on academic excellence is complemented by our concern for each learner’s personal growth and intellectual, aesthetic, and psychological development. The curriculum is developmentally responsive – actively engaging students in learning skills in context, integrative – directing students to connect learning to daily lives, and exploratory – enabling students to discover their abilities, interests, learning styles, and ways that they can make contributions to society.

April Financials 

 

  • Current year Revenue & Expense statements shows a $110K surplus, largely in the General Fund.
  • To further assist with everyone’s understanding of the activity within the financial statements, I have separated the Balance sheet and the Summary Revenue and Expense by Fund so the Activity of each can be seen independently. The Middle/High/Board tabs are still available to drill down into the transactional detail that makes up the figured on the summary tab.
