Exciting Times Ahead!

Our school is undergoing a remarkable transformation this year, thanks to a fresh leadership team and a renewed commitment to creating a positive and supportive learning environment.

A New Era of Leadership

We’re thrilled to welcome our new Principal, Deborah Frankin, to our school community. Her expertise and dedication are already making a significant impact. Under her guidance, we’re experiencing a renewed sense of purpose and direction.

Zero Tolerance for Bullying

One of our most important initiatives is our unwavering commitment to a bullying-free environment. We believe that every student deserves to feel safe, respected, and valued. To that end, we’ve implemented robust anti-bullying policies and programs. Our goal is to foster a culture of kindness, empathy, and understanding.

A Structured and Supportive Learning Environment

We’re also working to create a more structured and supportive learning environment for our students. By providing a conducive atmosphere for learning, we aim to help our students reach their full potential.

Join Us on This Journey

We’re excited about the positive changes taking place at our school and invite you to be a part of this journey. Together, we can create a vibrant and thriving learning community where every student feels empowered to succeed.

The Wellness Policy Committee has been created as an effort to manage and develop our school’s healthy habits.

» A Wellness Committee will be appointed to each school

» The committee may include parents and guardians, students, representatives of the school nutrition program, physical education teachers, or any other interested stakeholder that is aligned with the goals of the policy

» The committee shall meet a minimum of four times per year

This is a great opportunity to help promote and support student health and wellness, and create a positive, safe, and health-promoting learning environment. Please contact mealcounts@accelschools.com for more information.

• Short Cycle Assessments keep track of how students are progressing in the program, giving teachers ongoing feedback so they can tailor instruction to your student’s needs.    
  
• Individualized Instruction driven by assessment data means we are familiar with the needs of each child and set students up for success in each course of study.

Dear Parents/ Guardians,

Welcome:
It is indeed a pleasure to welcome all our returning students and our new students to the 2021-2022 school year! At this point with the covid-19 pandemic slowing down, we are not clear yet on the different learning modalities that will be offered. As soon as we know, you will surely be informed. Teachers and staff are excited and look forward to sharing many academic experiences with our students. It is with great pleasure that I am announcing the arrival of 2 international teachers from the Philippines who will be joining our staff this upcoming school year. As we partner with our families, we will work together to provide your student with the best possible education and educational experience. We plan to continue with the implementation of our Positive Behavior Support System (PBIS) Program to productively help our students with discipline issues regardless of the learning option they chose. Also, given the fact that our scholars have been out of school for almost six months, more than ever before, we want to establish a strong partnership with our families so we can work together to improve our students’ academic and social skills.

  Instructional Start Time: 8:00 a.m.
  Instructional End Time: 3:00 p.m.

Educational Model:
We will continue to diligently and systematically implement programs and initiatives that will assist in providing a rigorous EDUCATION for our students. We will be implementing a new Literacy Plan designed to foster excellence in student’s ability to read with fluency and comprehension will be enhanced even further. Formative assessments will continue to provide information relative to the individual strengths and areas in need of IMPROVEMENT, for our students. Differentiated instruction will continue to provide individualized and tailored instruction for all students.

Lunch Applications:
Lunch applications will be sent home the first week of school. The lunch application needs to be completed by every family every year, even if your students are not going to eat a school lunch. Please return your lunch application to school as soon as possible. All students regardless of the learning option will be served breakfast and lunch.
