School Mission

Our mission at Mabry Middle School is to maximize student achievement in a culture of caring.

We have three school goals, two are focused on student achievement, and one on general school improvement. Our school goal is to promote teachers as instructional leaders. We have several strategies in place to accomplish this. The most significant areas of this goal include continued training of our teachers in the new state curriculum standards, the Georgia Performance Standards, which are being phased in over time. We are also continuing to train our teachers in technology implementation, data-driven curriculum planning, and vertical teaming through curriculum mapping.

Our two student achievement goals focus on increasing student achievement in mathematics, Mabry's area of lesser strength (which is a state-wide issue), and literacy (reading and writing). We will continue emphasis on the Accelerated Math program, a computer-assisted, teacher-led program that identifies individual student achievement gaps while continuously reviewing previously learned skills to make that learning permanent. We will also continue our emphasis on reading and writing across the curriculum, a school-wide focus on specific reading and writing skills, and increasing the number of students meeting the state expectation that all children will read 25 books (150 pages per book) or 1,000,000 words per year.

Our school improvement plan (SIP), which details the summary presented here, will be online when it is completed at the beginning of each school year. The link will be placed on this post.
