Dear Crozier Middle School Community,
As your new principal, it is with great excitement and enthusiasm that I welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year at Crozier Middle School. I am honored to join this vibrant community of learners, educators, and families.
This year, we are embarking on a journey of growth, achievement, and positive change for our 8th grade students.
Our focus will be on four key areas that I believe will enhance the educational experience for every student at Crozier:
1. Improving School-Wide Achievement Targets
We are committed to raising the bar for academic excellence. Through targeted instruction, personalized learning approaches, and continuous assessment, we aim to help every student reach their full potential. Our dedicated staff will work tirelessly to ensure that each child receives the support they need to succeed.
2. Focusing on Positive Behaviors with PBIS
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) will be at the forefront of our approach to creating a nurturing school environment. We believe that by recognizing and reinforcing positive behaviors, we can cultivate a culture of respect, responsibility, and kindness throughout our school community.
3. Preparing for High School
As middle school educators, one of our primary goals is to ensure our students are well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities that await them in high school. We will be implementing programs and strategies to build the academic skills, study habits, and personal resilience necessary for success in the next phase of their education.
4. Improving Attendance at School
Regular attendance is crucial for academic success and overall student development. This year, we will be placing a strong emphasis on improving attendance rates schoolwide. We will work closely with families to address barriers to attendance, celebrate good attendance, and ensure that every student has the opportunity to fully engage in their education every day.
As we work towards these goals, I want to emphasize the importance of community collaboration. The partnership between school, home, and community is crucial to our students' success. I encourage you to stay involved, attend school events, and maintain open communication with our staff.
I am looking forward to meeting each of you and working together to make this school year at Crozier Middle School our best yet. Together, we will create an environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Here's to a fantastic year of growth, achievement, and consistent attendance!
Warmest regards,
Dr. Araya
