February 20, 2024
Dear Families,
We are now past the mid-year mark and it's essential to take a moment to reflect on our journey and celebrate the remarkable progress we've made together.
Academically, we have grown in every Math and ELA metric from Spring 23’ to Winter 24.’ Our mid winter student engagement data has given us an 85% positive rating score for the five building chosen pulse questions. This is an increase by 2% from the Spring prior. In regards to social emotional well being (SEL), 85% of students surveyed were "low risk.”
These achievements are a testament to the collective efforts of everyone involved in our school community and deeply appreciated. It’s important we celebrate growth and continue to look forward with a continuous improvement lens.
Thank you for your ongoing dedication and partnership. I look forward to continuing this journey of growth and achievement with each and every one of you.
Sincerely,
Ashley Imperiale, Principal
