No. Excuses.
 
What is accountability?  In the Spring Lake Park Schools, it is the numbers, data, research, training, results, reporting, and two-way communication that define quality.  For us accountabilty is about aligning the daily work of our staff - and all the components of our system - around continuously improving student learning, and then sharing our progress with our parents and community members. 
 
At the beginning of each new school year, our teachers face a room of new students with unique learning needs. The challenge and opportunity we have as a district is to personalize learning that will result in the success of each and every one of these students. To accomplish this we engage in ongoing improvement efforts, which involve studying our practices, processes, and results, and then identifying student and professional learning needs at the district level and each of our schools.  
You will find that this site provides you with the information about our efforts—and our results—to provide the best possible education for all of our students. The links below provide you with information about the professional learning initiatives we are implementing across the district to address student learning needs, assessments we use to measure student learning, finances and budgets, as well as a picture of the accomplishments, needs, and priorities at each of our schools. The various links on this section of the website also represent the 2006-07 Annual Report on Curriculum, Instruction, and Student Performance.

Should you have any questions after perusing this annual report, please contact one of the school principals; Dr. Don Helmstetter, superintendent; or me. Contact information is easily attainable by going to “Contact Us” on the home page.

Assistant Superintendent
