Hawthorne Road Winston-Salem, NC 27104 336-703-4206Jeff Faullin, PrincipalSarah Huddleston, Assistant PrincipalKathy Wilheit, Curriculum Coordinator-400050-198437500Dear Parent:We provide regular updates to you about your student’s academic progress by sending home a report card. Once a year, we provide you with updates on our school’s achievements through the North Carolina School Report Card. This Report Card includes important information about school and student performance, class sizes, attendance, school safety, instructional resources, and teacher quality. There also is information about how our school measured against federal participation targets and the number of suspensions and expulsions in our school.For the third year, each school has received a letter grade to describe its performance. These school performance grades are comprised of student achievement (80 percent) and growth (20 percent). Report data is available for our school district and for the state’s education system as a whole. Click here to view our school's full Report Card. Our school district’s report also is available on the Report Card website: src. School Report Cards are provided for regular public schools, charter schools, and alternative schools that were open during the 2015-16 school year.Brunson received a “B.” In addition, Brunson has been identified as a Focus School by DPI. Focus Schools are identified as a result of the achievement level of “in-school gaps between the highest achieving and lowest achieving subgroups” in terms of proficiency (reading/math) over a number of years or, schools with subgroup proficiency scores less than 50 percent over a number of years.Focus Schools must select interventions providing the following considerations:Aligned to the school needs assessmentSupported through school processes (e.g., increased learning time)Effective instructional methods or practices appropriate for identified subgroupsHigh quality job-embedded professional developmentUse of dataSchool safety and disciplineFamily and community engagementThe numbers only tell part of the story. At Brunson, we are proud of our Partnership with EL Education. This relationship inspires us to create a school improvement plan which leads us to:EL Education engages students through meaningful learning experiences that are both rigorous and joyful, helping them to achieve more than they ever thought was possible and to succeed as students, workers and citizens.EL Education is dedicated to unlocking each student’s motivation, persistence and compassion, encouraging strong character development and fostering skills such as personal communication and conflict resolution that will benefit them throughout their lives.State and local education leaders are committed to providing parents with more information about schools. Well-informed parents who participate in their children’s education and school enhance the learning environment for students and educators alike. In addition, the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) requires schools to issue Report Cards.At Brunson your involvement is very important to our success! I encourage you to review our Report Card carefully, as well as our School Improvement Plan which is located at??(Login -?GuestS15357?Password?- GuestS15357).??
