Core Values

 


One of our Core Values is to “act with discipline to sustain our academic success and financial viability.” So, please make sure to pick up all the copies that you are making. There have been a lot of unclaimed papers in the copier room.

As a reminder, please only print color documents to the color printer. I’m seeing a lot of black and white documents coming from that printer. The ink for the color printer is more expensive than the other copiers.

School Visit

 


Our math and ELA specialist from NHA’s Curriculum & Instruction (C &I) team, along with our DSQ are coming to visit our school on Tuesday, September 14 from 11:45-2:45. The purpose of their visit is to determine how they can support teachers and deans with the implementation of our curricular tools. We have notified those teachers who will be observed, however, if you see them around our school, please give them a warm Keystone welcome.

School Goal-Attrition

 

One of our school goals is to “decrease attrition rates from 17.1% (2020-21 SY) to 16.1% by the end of this school year through yearlong family engagement events.” As we discussed during August PD, we need your help! One of the action steps is for teachers to capture a creative lesson or activity from their classrooms with 2-3 pictures that will be posted and shared with families on our Facebook page.

 

Please make sure that you email me the pictures and a small blurb (2-3 sentences) of the activity by the deadline below. I will get them on our Facebook page. Thank you for your contribution to enrollment and our school goal. We couldn’t accomplish this without you!
