Message from Dr. Doyle
As we complete our first month of school, I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible start weâve had. From day one, it has been inspiring to see the positive energy, commitment, and enthusiasm across our school community.
I am proud of the strong teacher-student relationships that are already forming. Our teachers have worked tirelessly to connect with each student, building the trust and support that is essential for academic and personal growth. These connections create a foundation where students feel safe, valued, and motivated to succeed. Thank you, teachers, for your dedication to nurturing these relationships.
Equally important is the focus we have placed on fostering positive behaviors. Throughout this first month, I have seen students demonstrating respect, kindness, and responsibility. Each Friday, we teach and practice the expectations we have for our students. Whether itâs helping a classmate, participating actively in discussions, or following classroom expectations, these behaviors create a learning environment where everyone can thrive. Letâs continue to celebrate and encourage these actions daily.
Don't forget to join our PTA meeting this Tuesday. Information is below. We also look forward to seeing this week at our athletic events. We will be having our first dance soon, our clubs will start, and we will begin our remediation programs to support our students. Thank you to all our families and staff for your ongoing support. Hereâs to an outstanding year ahead!
Regards,
Dr. Doyle
Student-Athletes in action last week
I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to our athletes and their coaches for their tireless efforts, as well as to you, their families, for the unwavering support you provide. It is through this collective effort that our students continue to thrive, both in competition and in life.
