The information located within the Instruction Department Web Site has been created to answer any questions you may have and direct you to the information that will ultimately help us reach our goal which is to...."do the best for kids with the resources that are available."

Within the Instruction Department there are many specific and unique programs. Our Web Site has been designed to inform you about and clarify the nature of these many programs.

The Instruction Department's mission to help staffs prepare students for the 21st century, is congruent with District 4J's vision, "Investing in students, creating the future." Toward these ends, the Instruction Department initiates and identifies ideas to improve curriculum and instruction at all 4J schools.

An area of focus for the district and all schools is to address the "achievement gap" and ensure that all students succeed at high levels.

The Instruction Department has a history of providing leadership and support for quality instructional programs. Our beliefs about the 4J school district, our students, the staff, the community and parents, and our resources have evolved over time and reflect our rich history of instructional services.
