A Message from the Principal      

Welcome to Anderson Elementary School. In keeping with our mission , which is stated on this web site, Anderson is a place where:  Parents are active participants, Teachers are life long learners, Administrators are supportive change agents, Community Members are team players/partners and Students are inquisitive sponges soaking up all the knowledge, nurturing and love that we have to offer them.     It is business as usual every day at Anderson – and we are in the business of   educating students.      I invite you to join us in “Educating Our Future  Leaders Today”     Roslyn Stiles Vaughn.

School Profile

Lets describe the following items:

• Shared Decision-Making Committee: The SDMC is composed of 16 members: 6 classroom teachers, 3 school-based professionals, 1 non-instructional staff member, 2 parents, 2 community members, 1 business partner and the principal. The main focus of the SDMC is to help select and then monitor initiatives, strategies, and activities that will improve student achievement and parental involvement. The standing committees are curriculum and instruction (staff development), parental/community involvement, student/staff incentives (school culture and student achievement), budget, and vertical team planning. All committees address issues that pertain to the improvement of student achievement, positive school culture, safety and health of students and staff, management efficiency (teacher support), and parental and community involvement. All members of the Anderson Elementary School community are encouraged to be a part of the monthly SDMC meetings, however, only SDMC members vote. Decisions are made based on the majority vote.

 
• School Overview: Anderson Elementary is located in the heart of a middle-income residential area (Westbury) in southwest Houston that is primarily populated by senior citizens. While some of Anderson's students do live in houses in the neighborhood, the majority of them reside in low-income housing units that are within walking distance of the school.
