It is my pleasure to welcome you to Frank Long Elementary School’s Webpage!  We hope that you find it informative and helpful as you strive to learn more about our school.  I invite you to visit the various links which are designed to give you useful information.  We are dedicated to continual improvement as you can see by reading our yearly School Improvement Plan (SIP).  This plan gives details on how our staff will develop strategies designed to help our students become successful life-long learners.  We are in the process of developing a link which shows how our students are performing on standardized tests.  Although we are well above state averages, we will not be satisfied until all students are learning to their maximum potential. 

            Improving student achievement is our primary focus.  We maintain very high expectations of our students as we work to help them master all skills emphasized by the Georgia Performance Standards.  Although we will insist our students work hard to reach their goals, we have developed many strategies to help those who struggle and have difficulty. 

            Technology is a very important part of the learning process at Frank Long Elementary School.  All of our teachers have received training on successfully implementing technology into the learning process.  We believe the advantages offered by recent technological advances are very beneficial to our students.  We use computers and many other forms of technology as tools to aid in student achievement.  Our educational programs use technology as a supplement to the learning process and not simply as game stations to be used when other work is finished.

            We are in the process of developing both an indoor science lab and an outdoor classroom to help enrich our science curriculum.  Students will have opportunities to observe many different types of animals in our indoor lab, and they can learn many interesting and informative facts through exploration in the outdoor classroom.  

            We hope that you enjoy exploring the remaining parts of our webpage.  If you have any questions about its contents or other school programs, please feel free to contact us using the e-mail links found on the staff portion of the webpage.  It is our goal to make the learning experience at Frank Long Elementary School enjoyable and successful.   We want to give our children the skills necessary to make them successful throughout their educational careers.
