The SRSD schools, administration, staff, and students have been recognized at the local, state, and national level in a wide variety of areas including: competency based education, professional learning communities, technology, leadership, scholarship, athleticism, and the arts.
We experienced extremely high staff turnover in the past year, but previous to that we saw a very low rate – years when we did have contracts. History shows that failed contracts lead to higher turnover. Retaining our dedicated staff leads to consistency in the classroom – a proven predictor of student success that also protects the investments the district has made in training staff
Sanborn is at a precipice – success lies heavily upon community support. That support renews the sense of purpose, strength, and devotion amongst the staff towards the work they are so very passionate about – the education of the children of Kingston, Newton, and Fremont.
We continue to evaluate, modify, and strengthen curriculum, instruction, and assessment to meet the needs of students in a modern and ever-changing society.
