Parents are invited to tour the building prior to the start of each school year. The purpose of the brief event is to allow parents a brief opportunity to see (greet) their teacher and view (peek at) their child’s learning environment prior to the start of the school year.

Monthly newsletters are sent home and posted online to inform the community of events and happenings at Twin Hills and promote a positive school culture.

The faculty assumes responsibility for their professionalism by leading Professional Learning Community presentations at monthly faculty meetings. The faculty stays abreast of curricular trends and offers to pilot innovative instructional resources and techniques to improve their practice and student learning.

Every student, parent/guardian, and/or staff member benefit from the PTA. The PTA contributes greatly to the success of the school, providing a way for parents/guardians and other caring adults to become involved and serves as a major communication link between parents, school staff, central office administrators, and the school board.

In tandem with the Star Program, we use restorative justice practices to address poor behavior choices and promote inclusive peer conflict resolution. Teaching staff, parents, and students have learned to speak, listen, hear, and, most importantly, understand each other, which has minimized the number of discipline referrals and suspensions, fostering a warm and loving school environment for students to learn.

A positive behavior support program that helps students focus on expected behaviors and encourages them to ‘get caught doing something good’. Students receive ‘Star Tickets’ for random acts of kindness, meeting a personal behavioral goal, or for simply just doing the right thing, believing it much more effective to recognize positive choices as a means of eliminating unwanted behaviors. Each month teachers select a Star Student and a Student Reaching for the Stars. 

Star Students are students who typically make positive behavior choices and reflect a responsible work ethic.

Students Reaching for the Stars often struggle academically, socially, or behaviorally. These students are selected based on their effort to improve in one or more of those areas.

Each year students, parents, and staff are invited to express their opinions about our school’s effectiveness through the use of surveys. We happily accept their perspectives understanding each individual stakeholder makes an important difference for the collective whole. The data collected from these surveys are used to initiate programs and measure their effectiveness.
