  Other special features about our school:  
  The staff at Chief Kanim will continue to grow as learners and teachers of today's youth.  It is our hope that students will make academic progress by way of our ABC’s:  Achievement, Belonging, and Contributing.  Our staff has selected four school improvement goals.  The goal areas are to improve WASL scores in the areas of math, writing, and reading.  We will also focus on staff development throughout the year.  We will use data from the 06-07 school year to track our progress.  We will use results from staff, student, and parent surveys to give us insight into our school practices.  Our clubs and extracurricular activities boast large numbers of students.  This year we are looking to add some new and exciting clubs to the list.  We will collaborate with Snoqualmie Middle School throughout the year.  Snoqualmie Valley Middle Schools are committed to a safe community environment in which all students will have the opportunity to experience intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth.  Our focus is on Academics~Arts~Activities.
