School Learning Plan
At BEST we are working hard to improve the learning experience for our students in all areas of the curriculum. We have made a priority to collaborate with our school community to establish our school goals - parents, students, staff - and linking them to our School District's Five Year Strategic Plan.

1) Improve student foundational skills in Literacy;
2) Improve student foundational skills in Numeracy;
3) Improve student social and self regulation skills.
