Who We Are: Our Community and School Culture

  • Each of our schools’ leadership teams analyzed the factors that impact their students’ ability to engage deeply and achieve academic success. They shared stories of their students and families, some of whom are facing serious challenges associated with physical wellness, social-emotional stability, unique learning needs, family security, mental health, violence, and food/housing uncertainties. They discussed the obstacles that their students face daily when preparing to come to school on time, ready to learn.

    Questions such as the following drove discussions around Anne Arundel County: 

    • What are the challenges and obstacles that negatively affect our students’ engagement and achievement most significantly and why?
    • Are we analyzing our data and listening closely to learn about all of our students when we seek to understand our learners’ social-emotional and academic struggles?
    • How do cultural differences, language challenges, transportation difficulties, health problems, and frequent family relocation (mobility) serve as obstacles to school success for our students?
    • What resources and supports are available within AACPS and across our county to support students and families in need?  How do we help our families receive the supports they need?

Our School Culture

  • Below is the school’s story as seen through the eyes of school leaders. They discuss the culture of their school and the community.

    Visitors and school community members will find that Ruth Parker Eason School is a welcoming and caring environment from the moment they enter our building.  We are a close-knit community that prides itself in building relationships with our students, families, and community partners. Because of this, you will find a personalized experience when in our school.  Whether you’re greeted by name when you first come into the office, or you are offered assistance by a colleague to support a student, positive interactions are an integral part of our school culture. Such positivity and collaboration are at the core of our instructional practices and facilitate the growth of our students. 

    Throughout the building, evidence of specialized instruction can be found.  The use of pictures and visual supports promote independence for students as they navigate the school community.  Communication tools are not only provided in every classroom, but many students also have individualized communication systems to augment their communication in every setting.  Practices to promote positive behaviors are implemented within the classrooms and hallways of Ruth Parker Eason, and staff are often seen offering positive feedback to students as they encounter them in various school locations.  Assistive and instructional technologies not only provide access to instructional materials and the learning environment for our students, but also ensure meaningful engagement in their learning process.

Home–school communication occurs daily and is provided in a manner that best meets the family’s needs. Opportunities to come together with other families are provided throughout the year, including PTA-sponsored “Trunk or Treat” and “Family Fun Day.”   These types of events promote connections between other parents and siblings while providing a safe and fun setting for all.
