The John Muir Elementary School staff, in collaboration with students, families, and the community provides a nurturing and safe learning environment and prepares students for the demands of the ever-changing future. Our students achieve academic excellence through collaboration, critical thinking, communication, and creativity to become real-world problem solvers.

Instructional Focus:

John Muir's students will persevere in mathematics.  They will make sense of the problem and solve it by explaining their reasoning using visuals, numbers, and math language. 

Bold Steps & Best Practices:

• Implementation of i-Ready assessments (3 times a year to monitor progress) and i-Ready Common Core curriculum.
• Implement Common Core State Standards school wide; with the implementation of the four Cs (Critical Thinking, Creativity, Communication, and Collaboration).
