Dear Charles Carroll School No. 46 Families,

Good News:

If you haven’t already heard, Charles Carroll School No. 46 is officially a school in Good Standing, based on the NY State Accountability System! Please congratulate our staff and students on their hard work.  Our entire community has put forth steadfast efforts to make such amazing improvements in instruction. The work is not over and we must continue to grow and advocate for necessary supports to continue to improve.  All students can be successful and we will work relentlessly to prepare our students for middle school leading to career and college readiness.

Benchmark Assessments:

It is hard to believe that we have already finished our first semester and report cards will go out on Friday, February 8, 2019.  With the end of the semester, our winter benchmark assessments have concluded and we are in the process of working as a staff to analyze the data, set goals, and take action. As part of this process, we have engaged students in conversation about their performance and areas of success and challenges.  Many students have established goals and are invested in achieving them. Goal setting gives students long-term vision and short-term motivation. Please ask your child if they met their benchmark goal for NWEA. Many should be able to share their progress. Remember you can also schedule a parent teacher conference and report card meetings to discuss this with your child’s teacher. Teachers use multiple measures to determine students’ progress towards the standards so be sure to ask questions to find out your child’s individual growth based on these measures in given subjects.

No. 46 Parent Series Videos

If you are signed into our Classroom Dojo School Story through your child’s teacher, you will have access to periodical videos called School No. 46 Parent Series. These videos are created to support you in helping your child be successful at School No. 46. The next video posted will be Part 2 of Trauma and Resiliency. Then there will be another posted about the new ESSA rules for school accountability and how chronic absences impacts our school standing.

Children receive the best education when we work as a team. We are committed and look forward to your engagement in our school’s operation.  You are as important to your children’s education as we are at Charles Carroll School No. 46.  Please continue to find ways to support our efforts and assist us in making your child’s learning experience the best it can be. We believe that together we can achieve great things!

One final note, it is recruitment time! Let your neighbors, friends, and family know about the wonderful opportunities waiting for their children at Charles Carroll School No. 46. 

Sincerely,

Ms. Pantoja

Charles Carroll School No. 46 Principal
