Nichols Leadership Academy News #2

Hello Navigators,

It truly was great to be back this week. Our amazing staff and students welcomed me back with an unforgettable greeting by all he students in the front of the school. I was so grateful and honored to receive such a warm welcome.

Our Back To School Night was a great success. I enjoyed connecting with families and watching our teachers share plans, goals and expectations or the school year. This is sure to be a fantastic school year.

We are looking for parents as educational partners to be part of our school site council. The School Site Council (SSC) is a group of teachers, parents, administrators, as interested community members who work together to develop and monitor a school’s improvement plan. We meet once a month 5 times a year. If you would like to be part of this committee click the link below and add your name. We will be voting on members next week through a ballet that will be linked to this newsletter.
