We thought it might be fun to introduce different groups of staff at Canyon Creek Elementary.
Putting a face to the names helps make a community stronger!

The State of Washington funds the LAP in elementary schools. In the Northshore District, this program offers additional services for students scoring below grade-level standard in English language arts in grades K-4. The services focus on accelerating student growth to make progress toward grade level during the period of time they are provided services.
LAP staff chooses which students to serve based on a variety of reading assessment scores and teacher recommendation. LAP staff at Canyon Creek are certificated teachers and work in the classroom with identified students, with small groups of children in another space, or with individuals. LAP emphasizes research-based best practices designed to increase student achievement.
EL stands for English Learner. The EL team's goal is to support English proficiency in all EL students around speaking, listening, reading, and writing. We currently serve over 100 EL students from all different cultures. We take pride in our cultural differences and our growing diverse population.
To learn a little about these teachers, we asked them, "What is your favorite thing about your job?".
