Dear Pieter B Coeymans Elementary School Families,
February is more than just a month on the calendar; it's a time for us to come together, celebrate our likeness and differences, express gratitude, and foster a love for learning. We look forward to embracing these moments with your children and continuing to build a strong and supportive school community.
Our focus on academic achievement remains steadfast. We're diligently working towards our building goals, aiming for all students to perform at or above grade level in both ELA and Math. To achieve this, our dedicated educators have crafted engaging lesson plans, implemented personalized learning approaches, and are providing targeted support to students who may need an extra boost. We believe that with a combination of tailored instruction and a nurturing environment, every student can reach their full potential.
But academic success isn't our sole aim. We're equally dedicated to nurturing a positive school culture. We're actively promoting positive behaviors through our focus on increasing the number of students receiving positive referrals, while reducing students receiving discipline referrals. Recognizing and celebrating students' achievements and positive actions not only reinforces good behavior but also cultivates a supportive and encouraging atmosphere for everyone.
Another crucial aspect is ensuring consistent attendance. We're working diligently to reduce the number of students who are chronically absent from school. Regular attendance is vital for academic progress, and we're here to support families in overcoming any challenges that may hinder students from being present and engaged in their learning journey.
Together, as a united school community of dedicated educators, supportive families, and eager students, we're committed to achieving these goals. Your partnership and involvement play a pivotal role in the success of our students, and we're grateful for your continued support and collaboration.
Thank you for your ongoing partnership and commitment to the success of our students.
With warm regards,
Mr. Hakim I. Jones, Principal
Traci Johnson, Assistant Principal
Pieter B. Coeymans Elementary School
