Montclaire Elementary Profile

Montclaire is a neighborhood, Title I school close to the South Park area of Charlotte that serves children in Pre-K through 5 th grade. We are located in the Montclaire Neighborhood between South Blvd. & Park Rd. and off of Archdale Rd. The current enrollment for Montclaire Elementary is 493 students in PK-5. The K-5 student body is majority Hispanic with 365 (84%) of students. The breakdown of races include: 46 (11%) African American, 16 (4%) White, 6 (1%) Asian, 1 (.2%) Multi-racial, and 1(.2%) American Indian. The LEP(limited English proficient) population accounts for 54% of the population. Our building was built in 1957-1958 and sits on a large, beautiful campus with a new playground and soccer and baseball fields. We are a community school that serves a diverse population including the surrounding neighborhood families and the families that live in the apartment complexes off of the South Blvd. corridor.

Montclaire continues to focus on authentic family engagement and has a small team of parents that serve on the PTO Board. We put new procedures in place to recruit more parents to join the School Leadership Team and have an active SLT that meets monthly to discuss the vision & mission of the school and collaborates to create an action plan that will lead to continuous improvement for the school. A major priority of the school is to implement strategies to improve parental involvement and the school has a committee comprised of staff members that plan family events throughout the year. A parent advocate has been hired using Title I funds to help see this vision through. We have the outside agency, Communities in Schools, that provides support to our families by providing an agency liaison that works in the school daily. We have a bilingual staff member that translates and interprets for our Spanish speaking families to ensure we provide nothing but the best customer service for our families.

Montclaire uses a balanced literacy framework as our curriculum for teaching reading. The majority of our teachers and administrative staff have been trained in NYC at Columbia University for providing literacy instruction based upon best practices for all students. Our school is also a member of the second cohort of Personalized Learning (PL) schools. The Personalized Learning philosophy in CMS aims to develop the whole child and empower them to take ownership of their learning by providing them with multiple pathways to demonstrate mastery learning in order to be successful and productive 21st century citizens in an ever-changing world. We have a strong PL design team that supports our teachers in the planning and implementation of personalized learning. We are a Success By Design school that has incorporated Opportunity Culture positions this year to ensure more students are being taught by our most effective teachers according to school data. We have a Multi-Classroom Leader (MCL), Senior Reach Teacher (SRT) and 3 Reach Team Teachers (RTT) that are responsible for individualized instruction for our 4th and 5th graders this year. We also have a Senior Reach Teacher that will be focusing support in 2nd grade classrooms to increase reading proficiency of students prior to their critical 3rd grade year. We have a part-time Science teacher that will be teaching hands-on lab lessons and a part-time Title I tutor that will work with small groups of students to provide extra reading instruction. We have a committee of staff members that work on our

6

Character Education program at Montclaire. The Culture Committee works proactively with staff and students to maintain student safety and monitor discipline and behavior expectations at Montclaire. The instructional leadership team (Principal, AP, MCL and SRT) is responsible for incorporating the use of data into our daily practice by helping to create assessments and analyzing data to help our teachers individualize instruction to meet our diverse learners’ needs. Our goal at Montclaire is to ensure that we are preparing our students to be successful throughout their academic careers and lives and are college and career ready upon leaving CMS.

Montclaire has a solid base of community partnerships that include both faith-based and business organizations. Our staff works closely with the members of the St. Andrew’s, Selwyn Presbyterian and St. Giles’ staff throughout the year. We work closely with Belk, Belk Next-Gen Advisory Board and the North Highland Group. We are fortunate to have many volunteers come to the school to tutor and mentor our students. We have literacy tutors from the Augustine Literacy Project, Book Buddies from South Charlotte Rotary Club, and a strong partnership with Heart Tutoring that provides one-on-one tutoring for math. Our church partners also help raise money so that Montclaire is able to have the Freedom School summer program for our students to ensure our students continue learning throughout the summer months. Montclaire has intramural activities for both boys and girls including a basketball team and cheerleading team. We also have a garden that is maintained by students, staff, and community members.
