Welcome to the 2010-2011 school year. I am excited to be a part of La Paloma Academy, working with dedicated teachers. I am here to partner with our families to create a community focused on family values and raising student achievement.
Instruction—We believe in the power of raising critical thinking skills and collaboration. Teachers focus on the academic standards; incorporating learning groups that are centered on balanced literacy. Students are assessed based on nationally-aligned performance objectives (curriculum-based measurements), throughout the year to ensure growth.
Student and parent satisfaction is of utmost importance to me. I believe it is my job to create a caring atmosphere, where you feel supported and accepted. This is more than a school, we are a family and here to partner with you.
In order for us to do our part, we need something from you—we need your child here every day. There are only 180 instructional days, and each one holds something special for your child. Please have your child here on time and do not pick them up early, unless there is an emergency. We value each and every moment we have with your child.
We have many parent involvement activities such as movie nights, bingo nights, Skate Country, etc…, and I look forward to seeing you all there. I will keep you informed of upcoming events or special announcements. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to make this a better learning experience for your child.
Thank you for partnering with La Paloma Academy!
