Following this outstanding news, Dr. Jeff Baarstad, School District Superintendent, was notified by the California Department of Education that Redwood Middle School has been nominated for California Distinguished School status. Eligibility for this prestigious honor is based on school API scores as well as documented evidence of Closing the Achievement Gap for our identified subgroup populations within our school. Redwood has been asked to submit two signature practices that are a reflection of Redwood’s commitment to student progress and achievement.

 

The successes mentioned above are a direct reflection of the hard work and effort demonstrated by the entire Viking family: Students committed to doing their best in and out of the classroom on a daily basis. Teachers as individuals and as collaborative groups focused on delivering rigorous and relevant instruction through a variety of instructional strategies and modalities. Classified staff members committed to providing students with a safe, clean and caring environment every day. A strong parent support system that is involved, active and committed to the overall success of Redwood Middle School. These recognitions and achievements are not to be taken lightly. Everyone in the Viking family is responsible for the success of Redwood Middle School! Congratulations and Go Vikings!
