SCHOOL IS IN SESSION ON TUESDAY, MARCH 17th
Dear Community,
Have you ever had one of those weeks it just felt right? This was that week for me and I sincerely hope for you as well. Why?
- Student attendance is trending upward in a way that makes me really happy and proud.
- Today, we had nearly 100 students visiting various sites across the city for job shadow day.
- I visited several classes this week and truly appreciated the effort and level of thinking students dedicated to their work.
- The number of ninth and tenth grade students participating in the PULSE homework help program this week reached historic highs.
- A number of seniors received acceptance letters from schools of their choice in recent days.
Next week is an important one (they all are, in fact). All are invited to the spring open house. You should have received a letter in the mail on this. We will come together on Thursday, March 19th from 5-7pm. As we are in the second half of the school year, this is the ideal time to connect with your young scholar's teacher to see how we can partner to ensure success for the remainder of the year. Hope to see you there.
Have a great weekend!
Best,
Dr. T
