Familias Challengers,
¡Es difícil creer que ya llevamos algunas semanas del nuevo año escolar! Nuestras aulas están llenas de entusiasmo y energía mientras los estudiantes y profesores se sumergen en sus viajes de aprendizaje.
Al comenzar nuestras evaluaciones iniciales, nos comprometemos a utilizar estos datos para adaptar nuestra instrucción a las necesidades únicas de cada estudiante. Este enfoque garantiza que cada niño reciba el apoyo y los desafíos que necesita para prosperar.
En nuestra escuela, nos enorgullecemos de ser un centro de innovación. Estamos dedicados a fomentar un entorno donde la resiliencia, la integridad, la seguridad y el deseo de aprender (nuestros valores RISE) estén a la vanguardia de todo lo que hacemos.
¡Juntos, hagamos de este año un año extraordinario para cada niño, cada oportunidad, cada día!
Un cordial saludo,
Dra. Millie TorresDirectora
Fanmi Challengers,
Li difisil pou kwè ke nou deja gen kèk semèn nan nouvo ane lekòl la! Sal klas nou yo ap bouze ak eksitasyon ak enèji pandan elèv yo ak pwofesè yo plonje nan vwayaj aprantisaj yo.
Pandan n ap kòmanse premye evalyasyon nou yo, nou pran angajman pou nou itilize done sa yo pou adapte ansèyman nou an pou satisfè bezwen inik chak elèv. Apwòch sa a asire ke chak timoun resevwa sipò ak defi yo bezwen pou yo pwospere.
Nan lekòl nou an, nou fyè dèske nou se yon sant inovasyon. Nou devwe pou ankouraje yon anviwonman kote detèminasyon, entegrite, sekirite, ak anvi aprann—valè RISE nou yo—se nan premye plan nan tout sa n ap fè.
Ansanm, ann fè ane sa a yon sèl remakab pou chak timoun, chak chans, chak jou!
Bonjou,
Doktè Millie TorresDirektè
