Fresh Start
At Stewart Elementary School, we want students to begin thinking about college early, so we display the college entrance requirements in our hallway. This helps to set the tone that this is a place to learn, and if students work hard, they will all be prepared for learning after high school.

Fresh Start
The Alumni Faculty Meeting has been a very successful strategy at Pacific Middle School. Each year we invite 7 or 8 of our graduates (present 9th graders) to come back from high school and tell us how their experiences at Pacific helped them be successful at high school, and share with us any experiences that weren’t helpful.
Our graduates have been very honest with our teachers and the meetings have brought about changes in teacher behavior that I have been unable to accomplish on my own. Sometimes our teachers are reduced to tears, but more often they howl with laughter at the funny things the kids say. I will take this strategy to every school I go to, regardless of the grade level.
