Mr. Lino Rodriguez, Principal
    PRINCIPAL'S GREETING

      Greetings and Welcome to the Grand Avenue Primary Learning Center's home on the Web. We’re glad you have chosen to visit with us and we hope you will browse our site for the latest exciting information about Grand Avenue.

    Grand Avenue is proud to be a Title I Schoolwide Project.  This means that we receive Federal funding to help us increase student achievement.  We use these funds in a variety of ways including teacher and paraprofessional salaries, technology and professional initiatives such as First Start, Family Literacy Nights, and meaningful assessment to drive developmentally appropriate instruction.

    At Grand Avenue, we have competent and caring teachers and staff who are committed to providing our students with  comprehensive, engaging instruction.  We focus on the components of the Effective School Research and the Continuous Improvement Model.  We are committed to carrying out the school district's mission:

Our vision is to be the top producer of successful students in the nation. Our mission is to lead our students to success with the support and involvement of families and the community.

 We believe the following factors contribute to effective schools:

  1. Safe, Orderly and Caring Environment
  2. Opportunities to Learn
  3. High Expectations for Success
  4. Frequent Monitoring of Student Progress
  5. Instructional Leadership
  6. Home-School-Community Relations
     I urge all of our Parents to be actively involved in the education of children.  Some of the ways you can help children succeed in school include: reading to them daily, joining PTA or the School Advisory Council, volunteering at school, getting to know your child’s teacher, visiting the school, and being an example of responsibility. 
    I am blessed to be the principal at the Grand Avenue Primary Learning Center and to be part of a team making a positive impact on the lives of children.  Thank you for your support of our school.

Sincerely,
Lino Rodriguez, Principal
