CAMPUS GOAL

By May of 2019 we will decrease the total percentage of D/F’s in literacy and math school wide by 25% (from May of 2018 percentages) as evidenced by a score of four or better on the end of course level of achievement marks.

Learner Profile Trait for August

Barry Goldwater is an International Baccalaureate (IB) school.  As such we aspire to fulfill the traits embodied in the Learner Profile. Each month we will highlight and celebrate one of these traits.

In August, we will highlight what it means to be Principled.  We act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness and justice, and with respect for the dignity and rights of people everywhere. We take responsibility for our actions and their consequences.

The Learner Profile Quote of the Day is:  “Here are the values that I stand for:  honesty, equality, kindness, compassion, treating people the way you want to be treated and helping those in need.  To me, those are traditional values.”   By James Altucher
