School Vision
A Message from the Principal
Dear Booker T. Washington Families,
Thanks for an amazing start to the school year. We are beginning to get in our instructional groove and we need your students here everyday in order for them to maximize their learning opportunities.
This is our year! We have an awesome instructional team in place ready to serve your students. Last school year, we had one of the lowest attendance rates in the district. It is impossible for us to grow your students academically if they are not showing up to school. I’m asking this year that each of you commit to making sure your child is at school and is participating regularly. Our goal and mission as a school is to challenge our scholars academically and make sure they are ready to excel at the next level. This cannot happen without your support. If there are any barriers, please reach out to let us know. We can’t fix what we don’t know
Please make sure your contact information (telephone and email) is up to date with our office staff. This will be our main method of communicating quickly when decisions are being made. Thank you for trusting us with your children.
Donte’ Tichenor
Principal
