SBMS Exceeds Expectations!
Sam Brannan consistently exceeds expectations of Federal and State
legislation, Union contracts, and standards-based assessment goals. For many
schools, meeting the basic standards and the
|
minimum requirements is the goal; however, at Sam Brannan Middle School the
expectation is to exceed the requirements and standards. Teachers and
administrators put in long hours developing an exciting curriculum,
analyzing student data, individualizing instruction, and improving their own
professional skills. Our five years of consistent growth in STAR results and
API scores, and meeting our AYP annual measurable objectives and
participation goals are evidence of the excellence in our program. Our
Principal's clearly communicated vision permeates and infects everyone from
the students and their parents, to the staff and even the casual visitor. It
is demonstrated in the joy and enthusiasm that motivates us toward
excellence. Inspiration among our team is common. At the foundation of our
pursuit of academic excellence is our staff's dedication to our students,
each other and, our community.
