CICS Longwood

CICS Junior Academy works collaboratively with teachers, curriculum specialists, leadership and other team members to design and implement content-rich and standards-aligned curriculum. I personally develop a strong, collaborative classroom community maintain organization and structure within the classroom. Longwood teachers work in collaboration with parents to ensure student mastery and development. Longwood engages in ongoing assessment of students using multiple forms of assessment as well as a variety of learning tools, including technology, to enhance student learning. We design innovative learning experiences for students, participate in regular school-wide professional development along with participation in and organize culminating projects to assess student learning. We pride ourselves in contributing to and participating actively in the school's professional learning community and improvement efforts. My child attends Loomis Primary and I look forward to them moving on up to Longwood.

Our learning is off and running! The excitement is visible throughout the campus. We are continually working to improve our school each year. Parents can assist us in our efforts by making sure that your child comes to school healthy and well rested, communicating with his/her teacher, providing encouragement for your child, helping with homework and reading with your child. With students, staff and parents working together, great things will continue to happen for students in Longwood. We truly have a special school environment as the result of our students, staff and parents working together.

My daughter is in 3rd grade. She came from loomis so moving over to longwood was and still is a shock to our systems. I don't like that for breakfast the high school kids eat with the smaller kids. Also the woman at the front desk I believe her name is Tracy has an horrible attitude. She does not know how to talk to people. Other than that I do believe my daughter is getting a better education than she would get in CPS.
