A Message from Superintendent Colleen Burns Jermain, Ed.D.
Dear Newport Schools Parents, Families, and Staff:
I hope everyone had a great April break and are feeling recharged for the closing months of the 2023-2024 school year. With the weather getting nicer, I know it can be tough to focus on school work. But many of our students are still in the middle of testing windows, and our seniors are gearing up to complete their final projects. That’s why now more than ever, Attendance Matters, Every Day! These closing weeks of the school year are an opportunity for our students to shine. To show the mastery of concepts and skills they have learned through their hard work. So let’s use these last approximately 8-weeks to finish the school year strong with great attendance and our students feeling supported for assessments, final exams, and final projects.
There are several ways you can support our students and Newport Public Schools. One is to participate in our Parent/ Family Advisory Council, which is designed to be a voice for parents and families for us to share more information about the strategic initiatives we are implementing in our schools and to hear from you. Our next Parent Advisory Committee meeting will be on May 2nd at 5:30 PM, and our final meeting of the school year will be held on June 6th at 5:30 PM at Innovate Newport. Please email Cathy Nash (cathynash@npsri.net) to RSVP for these final Parent/ Family Advisory Committee meetings of the school year. A virtual option for both meetings will also be available with a link next week so there will be multiple ways to participate.
I also want to encourage our school community to attend next Wednesday’s joint workshop between the Newport School Committee and the Newport City Council to learn more about our budget process and priorities. This meeting will be held at 5:30 PM in City Hall. It is our hope to work with the Council for positive outcomes for everyone.
It’s great to see everyone back in class, learning, and excited for a strong finish to the school year! Have a great week of learning!
Sincerely,
Colleen Burns Jermain, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
Un mensaje de la superintendente Colleen Burns Jermain, Ed.D.
Estimados padres, familias y personal de las escuelas de Newport:
Espero que todos hayan tenido unas excelentes vacaciones del mes de abril y se sientan recargados para los últimos meses del año escolar 2023-2024. Con el mejor clima, sé que puede ser difícil concentrarse en el trabajo escolar. Pero muchos de nuestros estudiantes todavía están en medio de los períodos de prueba y nuestros estudiantes del último año se están preparando para completar sus proyectos finales. Es por eso que ahora más que nunca, ¡la asistencia importa todos los días! Estas últimas semanas del año escolar son una oportunidad para que nuestros estudiantes brillen. Mostrar el dominio de los conceptos y habilidades que han aprendido a través de su arduo trabajo. Entonces, usemos estas últimas aproximadamente 8 semanas para terminar el año escolar con fuerza, con una excelente asistencia y que nuestros estudiantes se sientan apoyados en las evaluaciones, exámenes finales y proyectos finales.
Hay varias maneras en que puede apoyar a nuestros estudiantes y a las Escuelas Públicas de Newport. Una es participar en nuestro Consejo Asesor de Padres y Familias, que está diseñado para ser una voz para que los padres y las familias compartamos más información sobre las iniciativas estratégicas que estamos implementando en nuestras escuelas y para escuchar su opinión. Nuestra próxima reunión del Comité Asesor de Padres será el 2 de mayo a las 5:30 p. m., y nuestra reunión final del año escolar se llevará a cabo el 6 de junio a las 5:30 p. m. en Innovate Newport. Envíe un correo electrónico a Cathy Nash (cathynash@npsri.net) para confirmar su asistencia a estas reuniones finales del año escolar del Comité Asesor de Padres y Familias. La próxima semana también estará disponible una opción virtual para ambas reuniones con un enlace, por lo que habrá múltiples formas de participar.
También quiero alentar a nuestra comunidad escolar a asistir al taller conjunto del próximo miércoles entre el Comité Escolar de Newport y el Concejo Municipal de Newport para aprender más sobre nuestro proceso presupuestario y nuestras prioridades. Esta reunión se celebrará a las 17.30 horas en el Ayuntamiento. Esperamos trabajar con el Consejo para obtener resultados positivos para todos.
¡Es genial verlos a todos de regreso en clase, aprendiendo y entusiasmados por un buen final del año escolar! ¡Que tengas una gran semana de aprendizaje!
Atentamente,
Colleen Burns Jermain, Ed.D.
Superintendente de Escuelas
