August
"Soft Start"
The first three weeks of August allowed the teachers and students an opportunity to build foundational relationships. They focused on learning how students in their class learn best, what they viewed as successful teachers, and the dreams and aspirations of our young scholars. During this time, teachers introduced the read aloud learning strategy to reinforce comprehension. Students enjoyed working in small groups as they allowed their minds to venture into the galaxies of the unknown.
Upcoming Events:
As we gear up for the FY24 academic year, YES will continue to keep you updated on future events, evaluation results and academic revision strategies-all included on the tabs in the newsletter. We are inviting parents to participate on our semi-annual advisory meeting on October 26, 2023. If you'd like to participate, please reach out to site coordinator, Dimitra Veal. On behalf of the YES Team, we appreciate you and I hope you all have an amazing year.
