     Allen Elementary School has had a record of academic excellence since its beginning in 1967.  The dedicated staff is constantly seeking to prepare students to accept responsibility for their own learning and behavior.  The administration and staff encourages parents to actively partner with the school to prepare students to succeed in academics and citizenship.  Recognizing student efforts in academics and citizenship will continue to be a priority throughout the school year.
     One of my goals has been to improve student access to technology.  A computer lab has been set up and the building is networked.  The Internet and reading and math software is available in the lab, classrooms, and the media center.  The Accelerated Reader program will be expanded and additional software purchased.
     Reading will continue to be a focus.  Allen received a grant that will further enrich our library of leveled books available to all grade levels.  The quality of student writing, while already above system and State expectations, will be another instructional area that will be emphasized.
     Exposing students to a variety of opportunities for field trips, community speakers and fine arts performances will continue to be accomplished with the assistance of the PTA.
     Parents and members of the community are encouraged to visit the school.  Volunteers to read or tutor children are welcome to contact us at any time.
Sincerely,
Barbara Motos
