October 2024 Priority Review by SCAP Reviewers
| Strategic Priority Three | Create Culture of 7 C’s with School as an Experience |
| Why is this important | When students are involved and connected to their peers, adults and activities, academic success also increases. Attending to character/disposition development enhances a student’s access to learning. Attendance, in person, is critical to long term success. High-quality, age appropriate experiences are most effective in developing background knowledge and skills to transfer to later experiences. |
