Firgrove Elementary Hawk Happenings is a weekly publication for our dedicated and hard-working staff whose mission states, "Together as a community, we will build an educational foundation to help all learners realize their full potential and achieve their hopes and dreams."
WE are committed to continue to strive to be better at practicing the Seven Culturally Responsive Classroom Principles, hence:
- We affirm our students in their cultural connections.
- We strive to be personally inviting.
- We provide learning environments that are physically and culturally inviting.
- We reinforce all students for academic development.
- We make instructional changes to honor and accommodate the differences in all our students.
- We manage our classrooms with firm, consistent yet loving control.
- We model and provide interaction opportunities that stress both collectivity as well as individuality.
