Mission Statement:
"All children are beautiful when they are loved." Bertha Holt
Program Description:
In the fourth year in our beautiful new school we continue to be inspired by the vision of our namesake, Bertha Holt, the founder of Holt International Adoption Agency. Our school's program is designed to embody her legacy of care for children from all backgrounds and abilities. Our over-arching goal is to create and maintain a fun, safe, and stimulating school where all children achieve at high levels. The school program and our development goals rely on research based and research validated strategies in order to meet this primary goal. Bertha Holt has a strong academic program, providing an atmosphere for student excellence. Students are also taught to respect and care about each other.
School Highlights:
  • Every child has music or P.E. instruction four times per week provided by licensed music and P.E. teachers.
  • Our beautiful, well stocked library is staffed and available to students and families before and after school and during recess, as well as during weekly class times.
  • Integrated technology instruction is provided at all grade levels. A large computer lab and 110 mobile computers provide access to computer assisted learning.
  • Students are very carefully taught common school expectations and procedures in our Positive Behavior Support Program. They are recognized for being respectful, kind, responsible and safe with the "Thumbs Up" reward.
  • After-school childcare is provided on-site by Kid City.
School Improvement Goals:
  • Develop and implement an effective, consistent school-wide curriculum in line with state and national standards.
  • Raise success rate on the Oregon State Assessment to 95%+. Implement regular assessment in core subjects of reading and math. Analyze data regularly to help meet the individual needs of all students.
  • Maintain active parent and community involvement. Provide meaningful volunteer opportunities. Communicate effectively with families.
  • Develop and maintain a fun, safe, and orderly school environment using strategies known as Positive Behavior Support (PBS).
  • Develop and maintain organizational structures that support collaboration among the staff when planning for instruction and continuous improvement. Allow for staff involvement in school wide decisions and policies.
