I hope this newsletter finds everyone in good health and good spirits. As we near the start of the 2020-2021 school year, I wanted to remind everyone that hasn't re-enrolled yet to please do so as soon as possible. We are gathering numbers for scholars that need technology, however we can only include those scholars that are currently re-enrolled or newly enrolled on our distribution list.
The re-enrollment form is listed below and only takes a minute or two to complete.
Don't delay, re-enroll your scholar right away!
Once you complete the re-enrollment form, please complete the student declaration form which also takes just a few minutes of your time. This form allows you to choose whether you want your scholar to participate in our hybrid learning experience which is 2 days onsite per week and 3 days of online learning or if you want to commit to 100% virtual for the school year. This form also allows you to let us know what technology the scholar has access to and whether you have internet access so we can plan accordingly.
If you are on the fence and not sure about re-enrolling, let me give you a bit of information about our campus and newly formed partnership with Phalen Leadership Academies.
- Phalen Leadership Academies (PLA) provides a rigorous, personalized, and well-rounded educational experience to meet the unique needs of each scholar in each of their schools.
- The PLA model is specifically designed to raise achievement for historically underserved students.
- PLA has successfully transformed 6 F-rated schools into A-rated schools
Research shows that for school transformation to be successful, there must be flexibility, professional development, strong leadership, capacity building, extended school and learning time along with parent and community involvement. (https://ieponline.com/).
As partners with PLA, it is our hope to transform our district and improve learning outcomes and learning gains for all the scholars we serve. I am confident in our district and believe we will transform our A+ community now that we have all of the above listed things in place.
I hope that everyone can trust the process and know that we are working tirelessly on our end to make everything a seamless transition for everyone. We are looking forward to having a most successful school year even amid what many are calling, "our new normal!"
