A MESSAGE
FROM THE PRINCIPAL, CHRIS ODELL Welcome to Brigadoon Elementary
School, home of the Tigers! At Brigadoon, it is our number one priority
to assist our students in meeting or exceeding state and district
standards in all academic areas. Our goal for the 2006-07 school
year mirrors that of the Federal Way School District. We aim to
have at least 70% of our students meet standard in math, and 90%
meet standard in reading. On the 2006 WASL, our fourth grade students
achieved as follows: Math 69.2% met standard Reading 86.1% met standard
Writing 61.5% met standard We are striving to meet those goals by
providing 90 minutes of literacy instruction in class each day.
We encourage all students to read approximately 30 minutes at home
daily. At home reading is supported through our Accelerated Reader
program. In addition to classroom instruction in mathematics, using
the Investigations curriculum and the Addison, Wesley, Scott, Foresman
curriculum, we also use Accelerated Math and a supplemental program
of math facts mastery. Students are supported as needed, through
small group and individual tutoring in English language learning
programs, reading assistance programs, and math support programs.
Brigadoon Elementary represents a diverse community of learners.
We are committed to developing students who are safe, kind, and
productive. Vision Statement We can make students' lives better
by meeting the educational needs of every student. Mission Statement
We meet the needs of every student by: · Motivating students to
set and attain learning goals · Partnering with our students, parents,
and community · Ensuring that everything we do leads to a safe,
healthy environment · Helping students work toward their full potential.
etter from our new principal is forthcoming.
