Principal’s Message: January 19, 2025

Greetings Jackson-Reed,

Last week was wonderful due to the many events and activities on our campus. I enjoyed engaging in the multiple sessions during our Literacy and Numeracy Night, and I appreciated the rich discussion and thoughtful questions that occurred with our prospective families during the Community Conversation. What was truly phenomenal was the professional development day where members of our Faculty and Staff got to connect around relevant topics. During our PD Day, I shared a brief update regarding the upcoming budget season and we are seeking input.

We believe inclusive decision-making, along with transparency and trust will help our SY26 budget process go smoothly. Our Local School Advisory Team (LSAT) has developed a budget survey to gain input from multiple stakeholders to help identify priorities. The feedback gathered from the survey will serve as an additional data point so that we can make more informed decisions as we allocate resources for SY26. As a reminder, enrollment drives the budget and our projected enrollment for next school year is 1,732 students. The deadline to complete the Budget Survey is Saturday, January 25 at 12:00  pm. 

Lastly, DCPS will be closed on Monday, January 20th in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Have a positive and productive week!

Tigers R.O.A.R.,
