Dear Fernwood Families,
As we move through another month, I am continually inspired by the dedication our students bring to our school. Our shared mission to Embrace, Engage, and Educate, is visible in every classroom, and it is the foundation of the success we celebrate daily.
To maintain this momentum, I want to reaffirm our commitment to the high expectations that make our school a leader in excellence. Our Code of Conduct is a crucial piece of all that allows us to live out our mission every single day.
Living Our Values
When we hold ourselves to a higher standard, we create the best environment for every student to thrive:
-
Embrace: We ask every student to embrace our school values of integrity and respect. By following our shared guidelines, we show that we value ourselves and our peers.
-
Engage: True engagement happens when we interact with one another positively and purposefully. Adhering to our conduct standards ensures that every student can participate in a safe, focused, and supportive atmosphere.
-
Educate: High expectations in behavior lead directly to high achievements in learning. When we all respect the boundaries of our community, we protect the time and space needed for education.
Excellence is not an accident, it is a habit. This past couple of weeks we conducted our grade level meetings to reinforce these ideals. We are asking every student to continue leading by example and taking pride in the high standards we set for ourselves. Thank you to our families for your continued partnership in upholding these expectations.
Sincerely,
Frank Locantora
Principal
