At Tomas Rivera Elementary School, staff and parents are committed to the Mission, Vision, and Collective Commitments of our Professional Learning Community (PLC) which we collaboratively developed. In order to transform these into reality, we envision a PLC where: Students receive a rich, balanced curriculum to ensure that they will read, write, calculate, and reason at proficient oradvanced levels; Staff provides a safe, orderly, supportive school environment that maximizes time for learning and promotes the achievement and well being for all students; Teachers present clear, explicit instruction aligned with the State Content Standards, regularly monitor student progress, and provide students with timely feedback and support; Instruction is differentiated, based on identified needs to ensure that all students achieve their learning goals; and Parents and community members are actively engaged as partners in the education of Rivera’s students.
