Navigation Team Reports
The Navigation team has spent a great deal of time in our schools as we kick off the year. We are working hard to identify our areas of weakness so that we can address those areas strategically as we head into the year.
We are over our budgeted enrollment, which is a great win. Paramount currently has 2,102 students enrolled at our multiple campuses.
Paramount Cottage Home was excited for a surprise visit from Dr. Katie Jenner today. She joined a group of other political leaders who visited the school and was able to get into the classrooms to see our students and staff hard at work.
