WELCOME FROM YOUR PASSIONATE PRINCIPAL

Greetings Parents, Students and Community Members!

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, it is important to take the time to show appreciation!!

I am thankful to have an excellent faculty and staff. They work collaboratively to ensure that the students receive a high-quality education in a safe and engaging environment. I would be remiss not to acknowledge the support given by members of our community, such as the Lynn Warrick Institute, the Islamic Center, our Volunteer Readers, Foster Grandparents, and our parents who show up every month for School Advisory Council meetings. They have all done an amazing job supporting the student activities and academic programs!

In closing, thank you to our parents and community members for always attending our events and providing help to ensure that our school’s needs are met. In the upcoming weeks, we encourage you to attend our Report Card Night/School Advisory Council Meeting at Chuck E. Cheese on November 13th at 6 PM. This will be an exciting event and I encourage you all to attend.

Sincerely,

Shedrick Dukes, Ed.S. Principal

WELCOME FROM YOUR PASSIONATE PRINCIPAL

Greetings Parents, Students and Community Members!

I am excited about the future that is being created at C. Robert Markham Elementary school. Our magnet program, Technology with Global Communications has new activities planned for this school year. We encourage you to participate and support our efforts to prepare students for college and career success.

One way to be informed of our school’s plans for academic improvement is to attend our School Advisory Council and PTA meetings the second Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the Media Center.

Our 21st Century academic camp and our YMCA afterschool program both began the first week of school and are now at full capacity. These are free programs where students receive homework assistance. The 21st Century Camp also provides Reading and Math enrichment, hands-on Project-based learning, and performing arts activities.

All Broward County teachers are required to meet state certifications or be in the process of completion. Included with this newsletter is a list of any staff who are currently completing state required certifications. Moreover, our state has implemented new policies concerning the evaluation of teachers and administrators. Parents are now able to provide input into faculty and administration performance evaluations. If you are interested, please provide me with your input in writing by April 30, 2019.

Sincerely,

Shedrick Dukes, Ed.S. Principal
