Dear Founding Board of Trustees,
March has been an extremely busy month at Brooklyn RISE! We had our 3rd Data Day of the year as well as T2 Report Cards and Family Conferences. Find more updates below:
- Students: We are preparing for the 25-26 lottery, which is next week! We currently have 90 applications across K-7, which is not meeting our overall goal. Recruitment will likely need to continue throughout the spring and summer in order to ensure we are fully enrolled in the fall.
- Staff: Staff morale has felt a bit low this month (as it often does in March) so we have been doing our best to include some culture building moments. We are hiring 5 new teachers for next school year, 1 part-time social worker, 1 MLL coordinator, and 1 Ops coordinator (specifically geared toward student recruitment and community engagement).
- Families: Our families are having T2 conferences this week and will be provided with academic updates as well as resources to use to support learning at home.
- Facility: We are making some plans and getting quotes for some summer facility work here at 9 Hanover Place and also continuing to be in touch with Scott re: our forever facility.
Looking forward to discussing more this evening!
Together we RISE,
Cary
