Important Upcoming District Wide Events
Please come out and enjoy the Black History Month Celebration
It will be hosted by New Rochelle High School - ALL ARE INVITED
At the heartbeat of the school district’s vision and mission, is the charge to prepare our students to engage in a diverse world. This includes a commitment to provide a high-quality education that is authentic, inclusive, and collaborative. The school district is currently working to develop a graduate profile that describes and defines a set of college and career-ready outcomes which encompass academic, cultural, social, and employability skills and competencies. Through the rest of December until February 12,2023 the district will host a ThoughtExchange survey, conduct interviews and focus groups, to determine "When envisioning our graduating class, what are some key characteristics, areas of knowledge, skills, and/or dispositions that come to mind?"
It is the expectation that the graduate profile will be seen as a student success tool to be used from the first day of pre-K through graduation day by teachers, as well as site and central office administrators to speak with one voice regarding the preparation of our students.
The Graduate Profile is sponsored by the CSDNR Office of Curriculum and Instruction. This question will be asked of students, teachers, administrators, parents, community partners, post-secondary institutions, and the business community.
We would like to hear from you. The link to participate in our survey is below:
En el corazón de la visión y misión del distrito escolar, está el cargo de preparar a nuestros estudiantes para participar en un mundo diverso. Esto incluye el compromiso de brindar una educación de alta calidad que sea auténtica, inclusiva y colaborativa. El distrito escolar está trabajando actualmente para desarrollar un perfil de graduado que describa y defina un conjunto de resultados de preparación para la universidad y una carrera que abarquen habilidades y competencias académicas, culturales, sociales y de empleabilidad. Durante el resto de Diciembre hasta el 12 de Febrero de 2023, el distrito realizará una encuesta de ThoughtExchange, realizará entrevistas y grupos de enfoque para determinar "Al visualizar nuestra clase que se gradúa, ¿cuáles son algunas características clave, áreas de conocimiento, habilidades y/o disposiciones que ¿se me ocurre?"
Se espera que el perfil del graduado sea visto como una herramienta de éxito del estudiante para ser utilizada desde el primer día de pre-kinder hasta el día de la graduación por parte de los maestros, así como de los administradores del distrito y de la oficina central para hablar con una sola voz sobre la preparación. de nuestros estudiantes.
El Perfil de Graduado está patrocinado por la Oficina de Currículo e Instrucción de CSDNR. Esta pregunta se le hará a estudiantes, maestros, administradores, padres, socios comunitarios, instituciones postsecundarias y la comunidad empresarial.
Nos gustaría saber de usted. El enlace para participar en nuestra encuesta se encuentra a continuación:
Chromebook Responsibilities
To ALMS Parents and Students,
As a Middle School student, you are required to come to school with your district-provided chromebook charged. The district-provided chromebook is also your responsibility; if it's in your backpack, locker, on a bus, or at home, you must keep it protected from being damaged or lost/stolen.
Please refer to the AUP and Device Loaner Form, which you have signed with your parent/guardian, and review the terms and conditions listed on the form both inside and outside of school. If you have not already signed the AUP and/or Loaner Form, please click on the link above.
To all parents/guardians, please speak with your child regarding Chromebook care and responsibilities. Some of the computers are damaged due to students spilling liquids, tossing them to the ground during recess, getting knocked around in a backpack, or dropping them. Damaged Chromebooks are subject to fees. You may want to consider purchasing a case as was indicated on the school supply list.
You can refer to our Acceptable Use Policy and Device Loaner Form (linked above) for the CSDNR policy.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
