Site Based Management
Angling Road uses a site based management organizational method. Staff and parents make up our Site-Based Team. Goals have included increased communication, studying student enrichment, implementing an earlier spring parent/teacher conference to ensure time for any necessary interventions before the school year's end, increased used of technology and integration in the curriculum, new design for the parking lot and bus traffic to maximize student safety, and building focus to maintain a respectful and safe environment for optimal learning to occur. We continuously strive to base decisions on the best interest of all students and seek ways to continue to have Angling Road Elementary School be the best elementary school and school community!
