Quick, busy start to the year. Instructional Partners had their launch meeting, along with Director of Teacher Development, and have completed the first round of observations in Math. Site visit will be Thursday. Math night, a community event with the topic "Changing our Mindset" - math can be really fun. About 25-30 families attended, and participated in different stations throughout campus with games, activities, and resources to use at home. Howling with the Community, first of the year, provided a STEAM challenge for families. ELOP kicked off last week with 9 total; 5 sports, clubs, and grades 1-8 tutoring. Benchmark testing is almost complete.

First Howling with the Community had over 30 families and launched Count Me In. ELOP has 15 clubs, including sports and tutoring, with over 150 students participating. 100% of math walkthroughs have been competed. Instructional Partners will have student and teacher focus groups. Shoutout to the teachers for working hard, and starting the year strong.

It's a month into school and teachers are already receiving instructional support - it's impressive. Parental involvement, howling with the community, is building capacity for the parents in a way that is fun and engaging. Students being connected to a school is so important. Clubs and sports participation shows a sense of connectedness. Thanks to our staff, keep on rolling and doing what you're doing - it's appreciated.

Martin Casas

Great job to the teachers and staff for their dedication. Thank you very much for all you do!

Hearing Sebastian Cognetta's comments about unification of the school and campuses, it starts with the staff and leaders of the school. Camaraderie and teamwork!  To see the morale high is so important. Thanks, everyone is doing such a great job!  Reach out for support, trust the guidance, and things will move in a good direction.  We want those that want to be here and believe in the mission of Allegiance. It is going to be a great school year. Excited about Fontana campus - character and setup, it will be an amazing campus.
