Dear Tubman Families,

I hope everyone had a joyful and restorative weekend! We have an exciting week ahead!

CIWP Updates

As we wrap up our current Continuous Improvement Work Plan (CIWP), we are also creating a new one for the SY27-29 school years. This will be our strategic plan that we utilize to continue improving our school. Our CIWP team is made up of staff, parents, students and administrators. We have had a number of meetings and reviewed current data to narrow down two priorities to focus on in the coming years: Effective Instruction and Systems For Student Experiences. I will be presenting in more detail at our upcoming Local School Council (LSC) Meeting on Wednesday, April 15th at 6:00pm. Please join us if you can to hear how we are working together to ensure "Excellence Grows Here"!

Planning for Next Year

As we begin preparing for the upcoming school year, we ask that all families complete the Intent to Return Form linked here, Intent to Return Form, if you have not already done so. Your response is essential in helping us plan for staffing and programming. Thank you in advance for taking a few moments to complete this.

Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us. Please take a few minutes to complete the following surveys:
