Mrs. Robinson's Message
Dear St. Monica School Families,
Dear St. Monica School Families,
Welcome to the 2012-2013 school year. This year, which focuses around the parish theme “The Year of Faith”, will be a year that includes many positive, academic and spiritual experiences for your child(ren). Our school wide theme, “We Walk by Faith” will compliment that of the parish.
My Catholic school leadership is founded on some fundamental principles: the most important of which is that we are first a Catholic school. Our expression of faith must permeate throughout the day; in the classroom, in each area of the curriculum, on the playground, and in our service and extra-curricular activities.
Another important belief is rooted in an effective plan for curriculum and instruction. Creating specific and relevant instructional goals is significant. This is evident in our standardized test scores that continue to excel well above our neighboring public and private schools. As an instructional leader, it is also important to provide and support numerous professional development opportunities for staff in order to enrich the classroom learning environment.
Setting high expectations for student achievement, personal responsibility and behavior are essential not only for academic success, but in creating a school environment that is safe and pleasant. Working with the Olweus Bully Prevention Program and fully implementing this program into our curriculum, reassures all school families that their children are in a safe and Christian environment. Mutual respect, trust and a caring attitude provides students with positive feelings about their personal, academic and spiritual growth and development.
It is my sincere hope that you and your children have a wonderful year. I'm looking forward to connecting with each school family throughout the coming year.
Please take the time to view my Principal Notes (See link adjacent to this letter) also included twice a month in the Weekly Reminder starting in September of 2012.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Julie Ann Robinson
