Dear East Rock Community Magnet School Families,
Many thanks for joining us at our annual Meet the Teacher Night! For those of you who were not able to join us, I want to be sure that you know about the exciting news that we shared with our wonderful East Rock community. East Rock is one of five schools to be awarded a five year, 15 million dollar MSAP grant which enables us to become a Project Choice Magnet School. Under this grant, East Rock students will examine the multifaceted meanings of the phrase "We the People" as they explore the unique cultural landscapes of New Haven and our nation, and the ways in which diversity makes us stronger. Students will consider the cultures of their classmates and New Haven residents and suburban residents, and the ways in which each contributes to a rich and distinct way of life. With a focus on inclusivity, culture, and language, students will investigate and learn from their differences while drawing on the ways in which we are the same, in order to better understand what it means to be an American in a multicultural society. This school year will involve both planning and implementation, as we utilize the first three marking periods to plan professional development and instruction to support our new magnet theme, with the goal of full implementation beginning during the last marking period. The title of our school will change from East Rock Community Magnet School to East Rock Community and Cultural Studies Magnet School. We are looking forward to the many opportunities that the MSAP grant will provide. If you are interested in hearing more, please join us at our next PTO meeting on October 12th when MSAP Coordinator, Michele Bonanno will join us to explain the details of the grant and answer any questions that you may have. I look forward to seeing you at school! Best regards, Peggy Pelley, Principal East Rock Community Magnet School Together Everyone Achieves More With Organization Recognition and Knowledge TEAMWORK! |
