PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
As I reflect on all that we have been able to accomplish this year- I am extremely grateful and will be forever inspired by each member. When people ask about my inspiration this year, the zest that motivates me and keeps me going -- I can honestly say it is our teachers!
I have never had a group of individuals that I am more humbled to be able to serve and support each day. As we celebrate you this week, we are eager to show them the love because we all know that teacher appreciation should last more than a week, and there are no amount of gifts, or words that could truly reflect the amount of gratitude that should be shown for what they do day in and day out. This week, we will try our best to come close!
We still have a lot to accomplish before the end of May! Please reach out if you have any questions! Have the most wonderful week.

SOLAR PREPARATORY SCHOOL FOR GIRLS
KEY PRIORITIES:
Culture and Communication
Our goal is to clearly communicate the systems that reinforce the high-expectations and cohesive culture for students, parents, and staff. This focus on communication, data informed decision-making and consistency will elevate our staff and student culture to build the habits of mind and heart. These habits enable effective instruction, love of learning and excellence.
Project and Performance-Based Learning
Students will participate in meaningful and relevant learning experiences through the implementation of high quality project based learning across the campus. Students will make connections to the content they are learning. Instruction will focus on real-world situations with an emphasis on student agency, collaboration and students effectively communicating their ideas.
Math-Positive Culture
Math is for EVERYONE. A positive math culture will require that math is integrated across curriculum and contents throughout the school. We will work to improve campus-wide math mindsets, build fluency, and create a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, problem solving and ways to manipulate numbers.
Blended Learning Practices
A deeper focus on the highest leverage differentiated learning systems that increase student achievement across the campus. Through blended-learning students receive instruction specific to their learning needs. The purpose, best practices and progress of our blended learning systems will be consistently to all stakeholders involved.
