Mission Statement

The Mission of Oakland Primary School is to educate the “whole

child”.

Vision Statement

Oakland Primary School is to provide an appropriate educational

experience that maximizes the potential of every child.

Strategies

We will effectively unite the efforts of our staff, students, parents

and community in assisting our students to successfully meet or

exceed the state, district and school’s academic standards.

1. Implement an instructional program that meets the

needs of all primary students.

2. Implement an assessment program that measures

academic achievement in pre-kindergarten

through first grade.

3. Implement a professional development program that

meets the needs of the teachers.

4. Recruit and retain a highly qualified workforce.

5. Provide facilities that support high quality,

developmentally appropriate, early childhood

classrooms both environmentally and

instructionally.

Assessments

Kindergarten and first grade students continue to be assessed using

the DIBEL’S Universal Screening Process. They are further

assessed through the Measures of Academic Performance (MAP)

test.
