Perkins School HEARTBEAT
"We show our HEARTS every day"
Hello Everyone,
I hope you are all enjoying a fun and relaxing summer with friends and family. As usual I've been busy working at finalizing class lists and schedules and planning for the coming school year that will be here before we know it. We will have some exciting things for our students to look forward to when they return in September including teachers piloting science curriculum at each grade level, the Being a Writer program also being piloted time to focus on their interests and build their skills in fun ways and more use of technology throughout the school. With the addition of a full-time counselor and our instructional coaches and grade level leaders we are definitely headed in a positive direction to meet our academic goals and the over-all needs of our students with added supports in place. I attended our annual leadership academy last week with our administrative team from Newark, as well as the leadership teams from throughout our WFL BOCES region and it was an invigorating three days of learning about how to engage students in creative and innovative ways. I'm excited to be back with you in late August to share ideas of how we will work together toward our goals and help our students to achieve to their potential as we address the demands of our School Comprehensive Education Plan (SCEP) which is now our building plan.
In the meantime, enjoy your time off and keep in touch. Feel free to share the fun things that you're doing and let me know if you want me to pass them on to share with others. I'm working on getting the Perkins Twitter account set up so keep an eye out for it.
Best wishes for peace and restful days,
~Sue
