Text Box: School Improvement Progress We know your children’s education is extremely important to you, so we want to keep you up to date on what Vanleer Elementary is doing to improve our educational program. We are working on our Tennessee School Improvement Plan and are instituting several new programs to help our students succeed. We have agreed to work on two areas, math in 4th grade and social studies in the 5th . We have activities in afternoon bus room in both areas and enrichment activities in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades throughout the school year. Don’t forget we will have our summer library program to help keep your child reading during the summer break. Vanleer’s School Improvement Plan is available in the library. Text Box: P.E.
