What this goal means for our school: Greentree School seeks to provide appropriate programming for individuals, whatever their learning needs. Our students can access breakfast and lunch, to ensure their physical need for nourishment is met. Only nutritious food is sold in our Snack Shack. We have a variety of physical activities for our students, during class times and at noon and after school. We provide special programs for literacy. We have Early Literacy, Learning Assistance Centre, Extra Literacy as part of our AISI program. Assistants work with small groups or individuals to meet their particular needs. We have begun a program for gifted students. Our Family Resource Worker provides preventive education on social behaviour, and works with individuals and small groups to foster appropriate behaviour. We are implementing the Roots of Empathy program in all classes from grade four through six. We have two new computer labs and computers in all classes to ensure reasonable access. Some teachers have participated in Galileo to serve as lead teachers in integrating technology. We have an excellent SHIP program, focusing on speech and language development. We work closely with Big Country Outreach Program to develop programs for students. Outcome: The education system meets the needs of all learners, society and the economy.
