MISSION STATEMENT
                                                                       
Allen School strives to engage all students, parents, and community members in the learning process. Innovation, creativity, and collaboration are an integral part of the school experience.
 
Teachers frequently analyze data to drive instruction and support personalized goals for all students.
                                                                       
Optimal academic achievement occurs when students feel valued, safe,  and invested in their own learning. Therefore, the staff is committed to  fostering positive relationships with all students.
 
As parents/guardians, we will:
                                                           
* Make sure that our child attends school regularly and arrives on time so s/he will receive the full benefit of instruction
                                                                       
* Encourage good study habits at home, provide a dedicated homework space, and support our child in the completion of homework
                                                                       
* Communicate with our child’s teacher regularly, in person, by phone or by email and display classroom communication
                                                                       
* Support Allen’s PBIS matrix
                                                                       
* Show our belief in the importance of school by attending scheduled conferences, volunteering, and participating in classroom events
