Serrano Instructional Focus

For the 2023-24 school year our teachers have been focusing on the improvement of student writing in all grade levels.  Utilizing our district curriculum (Write From the Beginning and Beyond), students are explicitly taught how to be effective writers.  Our teachers have ongoing professional development in this area which includes collaboration with elementary schools across the district and partnership with our district instructional coaches.

All teachers in Orange Unified are receiving professional learning in the area of mathematics.  Our teachers continue to explore best practices for students to be fluent mathematicians.

 

Homework Policy

We encourage students to complete any work that was not finished in class and read independently.  Homework may be assigned at the teacher's discretion.  Students who would like more work at home, may access iReady and Lexia through their dashboard.
