WELCOME TO SHONTO PREPARATORY SCHOOL!
It is with great pleasure that I announce to the community that Shonto Preparatory School (K-8) made AYP for the 2008-2009 School Year. The staff and students are to be congratulated for the hard work and dedication that resulted in achieving this distinction.
We offer a very sound instructional program to our students. We embraced the SAILS Continuous Improvement Model in 2006 that has guided our efforts to reach AYP. The Model is as follows:

School-wide Commitment: Fidelity to the Program Design and Implementation |
To support teachers in ongoing improvements in their craft, we offer Expert Consultants, Reading Coaches and Math Coaches. We have also adopted the WestEd Teach For Success/ Coach For Success Observation/Feedback Model designed to improve and increase teacher engagement and student engagement. The “I Care” Program has been implemented to provide parents with a proven method of involvement in the students' academic activities. This program focuses on Character Building, Parent Involvement and Parent Training. It is the only program that provides a Data-Management component designed to measure parent interactions with their children. The program offers teacher lesson plans, a CD Based Curricula, Incentives, recommended book packs and posters that support a well designed curriculum.
