Superintendent's Community Update
September 7, 2022
A Message from Superintendent Colleen Burns Jermain, Ed.D.
Dear Newport Parents, Families, and Staff:
It’s official! Welcome back to Newport Public Schools for the 2022-2023 school year!
There’s just something wonderful about greeting students on the first day of school, which I had the pleasure of doing this morning at all three of our schools. Seeing students eager to learn and interacting with their parents, friends, teachers, and staff is what education is all about.
Working together and with our One Newport community partners, we’re going to have a great school year filled with learning, exploration, and growth.
Our Theme For This Year:
Focus on Students and Student Achievement
Celebrate and Enjoy!
Sincerely,
Colleen Burns Jermain, Ed.D.
Superintendent
Un mensaje de la superintendente Colleen Burns Jermain, Ed.D.
¡Es oficial! ¡Bienvenido de nuevo a las Escuelas Públicas de Newport para el año escolar 2022-2023!
Hay algo maravilloso en saludar a los estudiantes el primer día de clases, lo cual tuve el placer de hacer esta mañana en nuestras tres escuelas. Ver a los estudiantes ansiosos por aprender e interactuar con sus padres, amigos, maestros y personal es de lo que se trata la educación.
Trabajando juntos y con nuestros socios comunitarios de One Newport, vamos a tener un gran año escolar lleno de aprendizaje, exploración y crecimiento.
Nuestro tema para este año:
Centrarse en los estudiantes y el rendimiento estudiantil
¡Celebra y disfruta!
Sinceramente,
Colleen Burns Jermain, Ed.D.
