=**__ School’s strengths, accomplishments, and challenges: __**= ===<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What is distinctive about Community <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.5;"> School 300 is the academic features of our school building. Community School 300 is a campus style school located in the Bronx. Four schools share our entire complex: two middle schools, one District 75 Program and Community School 300, an elementary school. The greatest accomplishment of our school is the additions of positive school-wide enrichment programs for students and parents. Also, Community School 300 has transitioned into a nurturing and warm environment for students and staff. There are resources for teachers via professional development literature and the creation of a wikispace web page to share C.S. 300 news and instructional information through technology. Also, there are enrichment clubs and activities for students and parents. We have an after school program for students within our school: the Good Shepard After School Program Incorporated, the SISTAH and Boys to Men Conflict Resolution Programs. === ===<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The most significant aid to our school continues to be the retention of experienced and veteran teaching staff as the school transitioned from the former C.S. 234 into our existing C.S. 300. Ho <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.5;">wever, the most significant barrier to our school’s continuous improvement is building capacity. Our school continues to house four schools within one building. With increased student enrollment each year and the addition of city shelters within our community, our capacity to accommodate these needs is a challenge. === =**__ Mission Statement: __**=

**The School of Science and Applied Learnin**** g is a diverse and collaborative school that believes “It takes a village to raise a c **
====** ommunity of children.” Our students will acquire the knowledge, skills, and self-esteem that they will need to become compassionate and responsible citizens.
