    Harrison Park, which transitioned from a K-8 to a middle school this fall, recently held a school-wide vote for a new mascot. According to Principal Leah Dickey, these first few months as a middle school have been pivotal for students as they navigate the new exciting normal and establish an identity as a school and community. Picking a mascot has been an important part of that journey.

    Principal Phu Dao is many things to the students and staff of Roseway Heights Middle School: mentor, role model, champion, friend. Ask anyone who has learned from and 皇家华人ed with him and they will tell you that he has dedicated his entire career to advocating for students, families, and educators. And now he’s being honored for that dedication.

    Courageous Conversation, a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit that 皇家华人s with individuals and institutions to address racial disparities through sustained, fruitful dialogue, has named Principal Dao this year’s recipient of the Dr. Charles Hopson Racial Equity Principal Leadership Award.

  • Update on the Seventh Day of Mediation

    We need our community and PAT’s bargaining team to recognize that we are not unwilling to accept their proposal: we are unable. Even the proposal we have made will require at least $45 million in structural budget cuts over the next three years.

Director's Message

  • Hello families!

     

    Head Start has kicked off this year with enthusiasm! There is so much excitement at the beginning of the year as we prepare classrooms and build relationships with one another. We always take pride in celebrating the cultural, ethnic, and linguistic diversity of our community as we welcome back our new and returning families to school. The start of the year is also an important time for us to screen our students for hearing, vision, dental, and inclusion support. 

     

    Here are some highlights from September and October: 

    • We love all our Head Start families – our current enrollment is 79%. We have at least 22 languages currently represented in our program!
    • We’ve doubled our coaching capacity this year to better support our instructional staff in their teaching practices and professional learning. We are excited to have two experienced Head Start Teachers – Sara Peloquin and Leslie Woodhouse – stepping into coaching roles.
    • We welcomed six new teachers to our program – Teacher Loan, Teacher Heather, Teacher Amy, Teacher Tiffiny, Teacher Joanne, and Teacher Langston (add teachers from RP?) We also have hired 6 parents as mealtime aides in our program so far this year! 
    • We celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month at Kelly Center, Clarendon, and Sacajawea sites. Our assemblies were led by our families and Latina Education Supervisors – Amparo Garcia-Yurchenco and Dr. Martha Molina Velasco!
    • We opened two new Head Start classrooms at Rosa Parks Elementary School. We are excited to have two parents – Alex and Jenn – serving as Policy Council Officers! 
    • We held our first Principal Coffee Chats and Policy Council Meetings of the year. We had almost 100 parents attend! 
    • The beginning of the year is focused on identifying any health needs at school, ensuring students have health insurance and an ongoing source of healthcare. Our 45 day numbers were fantastic: 94% of hearing screenings completed, 95% of vision screenings completed, and 95% of growth screenings completed.

    We look forward to sharing more updates with you throughout this next season of the year!

    In partnership, 

    Dana
