Mission Statement
The aim of the Basic Skills Instruction Program (BSI) is to develop student skills and competencies which will lead to greater academic independence and confidence in learning. This is not a replacement program for academic areas, but is in addition to classroom instruction. The Basic Skills teacher attempts to remediate deficient skills in reading/language arts and math as identified through multiple measures in grades kindergarten through six. The objective is to provide this instruction in a positive, supportive environment where the individual student's interest and motivation for the subject matter can be maintained. The aim is to create an atmosphere where the child can succeed and gain confidence in him/herself.
