From Your RVA Principal
It’s a great day at RVA!!!
I hope that you are enjoying the day and finding ways to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the dreams he shared with the nation that would inspire the globe.
Speaking of dreaming, Richmond Public Schools is earnestly working towards updating its 2024-2029 strategic plan, Dreams4RPS! The first Dreams4RPS strategic plan was developed through extensive collaboration with various stakeholders, including students, teachers, administrators, support staff, families, and community members, who participated in over 170 meetings and work sessions. The plan outlined five key priorities and specific actions and goals for each of these priorities.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the district necessitated priorities shifting to focus on safety, learning loss, and transitions between educational mediums. As we recover from the impacts of COVID-19, it is crucial to reset, establish new baselines, and leverage the insights from the previous plan and community feedback to design a new plan for the next five years.
Come join our school community to engage and provide input on the strategic plan. We will host a Parents & Caregivers meeting on Friday, January 19, 2024 at 1pm directly following our 2 Hour Release Day via Zoom and at the Richmond Alternative School in the auditorium. We hope to see you online or in the building.
