North East Intermediate Elementary students work hard to make the right choices.  Choosing well is a responsibility that adults take for granted but it is an essential part of learning for young children.  The elements of CHOICE can be understood in the following way:  Care for yourself, Head in the right direction, Organize your time and tasks, Inspire yourself, Correct your mistakes and Expect your best.  In order to make the wisest choices, children must develop these skills and use them to establish and maintain a commitment towards helping themselves improve and also towards achieving higher learning goals.

Our school curriculum is carefully DEVELOPED by teachers to help students become more confident and self-directed learners.  Teachers provide daily instruction and caring support as they encourage students to choose to apply themselves.  Students learn to take responsibility for reading more fluently and critically, writing expressively, solving mathematics and scientific challenges, analyzing problems, and exercising in-depth reasoning. These learning skills are not only essential expectations of No Child Left Behind but are critical to insuring the development of a successful lifelong learner.

As our children choose to work hard to achieve, they need the continuing support of parents, who are their first partners in learning.  Putting forth good effort and making wise choices takes perseverance and patience that is made possible by a loving adult who offers boundless encouragement and support.  As parents help their children to become more confident and able students, our students will develop a passion for learning and personal accomplishment.

Remember, we all share in the efforts to ensure the success of our students.  It is only in working together that we can help each child choose to achieve the very best.
