Dear Founding Board of Trustees,

 

March has been all about strengthening instruction, our commitment to Anti-Racist Anti-Bias professional development, and preparing for our SY 23-24 lottery!
 

  • Our Students. Students have been working hard this month and also getting a lot of great field trip experiences! We are continuing to push on student recruitment to ensure strong enrollment for next school year.
  • Our Staff. We have been engaging in our three session series of anti-racist anti-bias professional development facilitated by the Center for Racial Justice Education. We are also preparing to make staff re-commitment offers for the next school year before we begin hiring for the next school year in earnest.
  • Our Facility. We are working with Scott's Team to finalize a proposed floor plan for the additional two floors of the building in the event that we move forward with a middle school expansion plan. 

 

Looking forward to meeting as a group this month!


Together we RISE,

SLT
