SCHOOL NEWSLETTER

WELCOME FROM YOUR PASSIONATE PRINCIPAL

Greetings Parents Guardians and Community Members,

Happy New Year!!! The third quarter of school just began, and our teachers and students are working extremely hard to meet the school improvement goals by engaging in rigorous classroom activities and assessments. As we continue to prepare for the Florida Standards Assessment (FSA). I encourage you to view the assessment dates posted on our school’s website and newsletter.

There are resources available for parents to monitor the academic progress of their children. Parents can utilize Pinnacle to check grades, assignments, and attendance. Currently, we are encouraging all students to utilize iReady to prepare for the upcoming assessments. In fact, students took the iReady mid-year Reading assessment in December and will take the mid-year Math test on January 10-13. Students who score well will be invited to our iReady Popcorn & Movie Party on Friday, January 21st!

We will be starting Saturday Tutoring for select students on January 15th. Parent permission letters must be returned to Mrs. Romero, the coordinator. If you have any concerns about student support, please contact the school or attend our next School Advisory Council meeting at 6 PM on Tuesday January 25th.

The School Public Accountability Report contains several types of data designed to inform parents and the public about the progress of Florida’s public schools. This report meets the public reporting requirements of the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and certain additional information of interest on the status of Florida’s schools. In addition, the Florida Department of Education publishes school grades and the results of the state assessment of Florida schools. You can access the Florida Standards Assessment (FSA)/Statewide Assessment Data, LEA/School Report Card, school grades, and state assessment reports at:

Shedrick Dukes, Ed.S. Principal
