Our commitment at Myrtle Avenue School is to provide a safe and intellectually challenging learning environment that will empower students to become innovative thinkers, creative problem solvers, and inspired learners. Serving the Lamont community as the Principal of Myrtle Avenue School is an honor. With your support, our students will continue to meet the challenge of achieving continuous academic improvement. Here at Myrtle Avenue School, we believe that all children can learn. Our experienced faculty is a highly skilled and cohesive team with extensive professional expertise in accommodating diverse student learning styles and needs. We follow a strict, state-adopted curriculum and implement the best educational practices so that our students can meet and exceed the demanding Common Core State Standards.
The Myrtle Avenue staff strives to meet our students' individual needs through ongoing assessments, followed by direct, interactive group instruction and AVID implementation, all coupled with appropriate interventions. Curricular focal points include the complete implementation of the adopted reading and math program and our accelerated reading program successfully implemented in all the classrooms, including our Special Day classes. Technology is integrated throughout all curricular areas, and its use reflects the school’s innovative approach to teaching and progressive learning. We are especially proud of our school programs which include: Dual Language Immersion, GATE/Fast, Mainstream, Special Education, Music, Physical Education, AVID, and After School Programs. Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS) is embedded throughout the day in all aspects of the learning environment. Integration of these programs and strategies into our daily instructional program has the potential to increase our students’ determination as they strive to do better.
