Principal's Corner
Dear Students, Parents, and Staff,
As we embark on a new school year, I want to extend a warm welcome and encourage you to embrace the opportunities that lie ahead. Together, we will create a vibrant learning environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. I look forward to partnering with all of you to make this our best year yet!
What an Amazing Week of Learning Inside and Outside the Classroom!
This week, students not only excelled in their coursework but also enjoyed our first Special Olympics event! We had a blast at the Bocce Ball competition hosted by Williams Field High School, where students proudly earned medals and ribbons. A big thank you to all the families and Dr. Martin for coming out to cheer us on. We can’t wait for our next event—Bowling!
In the classroom, students remain engaged as they work hard to complete assignments, participate in class discussions, and grow their confidence every day. What a fantastic second quarter so far!
Our math students are on fire! New students are building math fluency through activities like pattern recognition and multiplication. Others are diving into Algebra and beginning work with linear equations. Meanwhile, our high school students are progressing in their ASU College Algebra class, graphing equations and exploring input/output functions. In transitional classes, students are investigating career paths related to accounting.
This week, science students explored biodiversity during a biome walk, searching under rocks and vegetation to observe microhabitats. They’ve begun preliminary research for their upcoming projects and are excited to dive deeper!
In Social Studies, students are discussing key events that led to the American Revolution, such as the Boston Tea Party and the Stamp Act. They’ve started selecting topics for individual research to explore these moments in history more closely.

Our new English students were introduced to Bud, Not Buddy by listening to jazz music that reflects the book’s setting—1936 in Flint, Michigan. They’re already curious about the story’s main character, Bud, and eager to follow his journey as he searches for his father using clues left by his mother.
To end the week, we welcomed an artist from Paint the Town for a fun outdoor painting session. Our students showed off their creative talents, and we’re already looking forward to the artist's next visit!
Thank you for your continued support. It’s been a joy to watch our students grow academically and artistically this week!
