SCHOOL FEATURES

Extracurricular activities provide opportunities for families and community partners to work collaboratively in shared decision making. This includes the PTO and school work groups that provide school governance.

Families are invited to participate in “Morning Briefings,” which are assemblies and/or celebrations that provide an opportunity for students to share their accomplishments and establish a firm literacy foundation.

English as a New Language (ENL) services support students’ academic needs. Half of the students in this school are from other countries and bring a variety of cultural traditions and life experiences which enrich instruction for all students. These are celebrated and shared at frequent school events for students, families, and community partners.

The Rochester City School District does not discriminate on the basis of an individual's actual or perceived race, color, religion, creed, ethnicity, national origin, citizenship status, age, marital status, partnership status, disability, predisposing genetic characteristics, sexual orientation, gender (sex), military status, veteran status, domestic violence victim status or political affiliation, and additionally does not discriminate against students on the basis of weight, gender identity, gender expression, and religious practices or any other basis prohibited by New York State and/or federal non-discrimination laws in employment or its programs and activities. The District provides equal access to community and youth organizations.
