School Goals

This is the starting place for our work at Airport on the Framework for Enhanced Student Learning or FESL. The School Learning Plan is a living document that is designed to serve as a guide to guide and align a school’s work in terms of learning. It is designed to allow schools to align all their resources in order to meet all students learning needs. ​

Airport Elementary has a goal under each of the *** in School District 71’s Strategic Plan.
