Manchester Shortsville School District has Excellent Students and Staff
The
Red Jacket community can be especially proud of the quality of
education the students are receiving. Our students continue to exceed
our mission of achieving high standards. Our administrators and
instructional staff continually review, update and align the K-12
curriculum with state standards. Ongoing professional staff development
allows our staff to maintain a high level of readiness to address the
needs of 21st century learners. Our teachers are working together to
implement RtI and the newly adopted Common Core Standards. Our support
staff continues to acquire, develop, and refine their skill and
performance levels to address new mandates, doing more with less, and
implementing new State and Federal regulations to assure meeting and
exceeding state and local expectations, and maximizing every funding
dollar.
We are proud to be able to provide a quality
instructional program for our communities’ children who are college and
career ready. Here is a list of a few items we accomplished last year.
