Imagine-Chancellor had an inspiring visit from the Positivity Project Co-founder, Jeff Bryan and Dana Vignale of Building Hope. We proudly showcased positivity in action throughout our campus. They had a chance to visit classrooms, speak with students, learn about campus initiatives, and witness our character education in action. Our ISCC News Crew had the opportunity to interview Jeff Bryan for our morning announcements and also shared how they incorporate P2 every day in their broadcasts.

From our youngest kindergartners to our soon-to-be graduates, The Positivity Project empowers our students to become positive citizens!

Highlighting 24 character strengths, each one is carefully chosen to inspire and guide our students on their journey towards becoming successful individuals.

At Imagine Chancellor, we are dedicated to empowering our students and families to promote positivity in action.

Recently Vanessa Vinent from WPBF News came to visit our Imagine-Chancellor 2nd grade. Vanessa interacted with our 2nd graders discussing everything weather-related. Students had the opportunity to ask and answer questions while they exhibited love of learning, curiosity, and enthusiasm throughout the presentation. We were even featured on the news as the Weather Class of the day. Thank you Vanessa for inspiring our students!

Imagine-Chancellor is a gum free campus. Please ensure your child does not come to school with gum. Let's work together to keep our campus clean. Thank you for your cooperation.

Throughout the 23-24 school year, Florida’s statewide, standardized assessments in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics will be aligned with the Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking(B.E.S.T.). The Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST).

An example of what FAST will look like throughout the year:

Progress Monitoring 1 (PM1)– because this assessment occurs at the very beginning of the school year, it is designed to provide a baseline score so teachers can track student progress in learning the B.E.S.T. Standards from PM1 to PM2. At this point, your child has been exposed to the skills, but no mastery of the skills is needed at this time.

Progress Monitoring 2 (PM2) by the time of the FAST window, students will have had an opportunity to learn the grade-level standards, and this assessment will provide a mid-year score to compare to the baseline score from PM1. Teachers will monitor and pull small groups to close any gaps that the students may be having.

Progress Monitoring 3 (PM3) this last administration will provide a summative score that will accurately measure student mastery of the B.E.S.T. Standards at the end of the school year. While PM1 and PM2 are for informational purposes only, PM3 will be used for school accountability beginning in the 2024–25 school year.

PM1 and PM2 - it is important for families to understand that this information is intended to provide baseline and mid-year results for PM1 and PM2 respectively. These results are for informational purposes only and should be used to identify areas that may need additional instruction and support. These results should not be considered student achievement designations.

By PM3, students will show mastery. This assessment will provide us with a summative score at the end of the year to measure student mastery of the grade-level content standards.

Student achievement is of utmost importance at Imagine-Chancellor. Teachers must maximize instructional minutes to promote student learning success. Tardies are a major disruption to the learning environment and student learning. Students miss extremely important intervention/enrichment time. Additionally, learning stops while the tardy student settles into his/her seat.

Student tardies continue to be a problem. We strongly encourage families to ensure their child(ren) are setup for success each morning by arriving to school on time. The instructional day starts at 8:30 am. Therefore, it is expected for all students to be in their seat ready to learn at this time. We appreciate your support in this matter.

Helpful Hint: Morning arrival car lines have extremely little to no traffic between 8:00-8:15 am.

All visitors must provide government issued ID to enter the school building. Visitors will be issued a visitor badge that must be worn at all times. When exiting the building, all visitors must check out and turn in their visitor badge.

• Students who are enrolled in before care will be able to enter the campus daily from 7:15-7:45 am off of High Ridge Road. Parents will receive special car tags to identify as before care students.

• All students will use hand sanitizer prior to entering the building.

• Access to the school off High Ridge Road will not be accessible from 7:45 am-8:45 am.

• Parents who are not enrolled in before care will enter the campus off of Miner Rd following traffic down Imagine Way. Gates will be open to all students at 7:50 am each morning.
