We look forward to a great start to the second semester tomorrow!
Dr. Allen M. Wilson, Principal

The most recent federal data show that in the 2020-21 school year, at least 14.7 million students nationwide were chronically absent. This means that chronic absence has almost doubled from the more than 8 million students, pre-Covid-19, who were missing so many days of school that they were academically at risk. Chronic absence — missing 10 percent or more of school days due to absence for any reason—excused, unexcused absences, and suspensions—can translate into students having difficulty learning to read by the third grade, achieving in middle school, and graduating from high school.

Great kick off with our teachers and teacher assistants to the 2nd semester! Authors Andra Bostic and Sarah Murphy were special guests that shared strategies to increase student engagement from their book Bashing Boredom. #raisingthebar
