Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,

Welcome back to all our amazing returning families and a special welcome to new families! I hope you had a fun-filled summer and are as ecstatic as I am about the new school year! Our school’s leadership team has worked hard this summer to help us continue the tradition of excellence here at Community Outreach Academy (COA). Our goal is to continually improve our ability to meet the needs of all of our students and increase our ability to effectively communicate with parents. From the first to the last day of school, you and your children will not only know, but experience, that “Whatever it takes, our kids are worth it.” Each year we host a BACK -TO-SCHOOL (BSN) night. This year it is scheduled for Thursday, August 22, 5:00—8:00 p.m.

 

5:00-5:45 P.M. - DINNER AT PAVILION (Chicken Alfredo, Caesar salad, and ice-cream or popsicles).

6:00-6:30 P.M. - PARENT TITLE I MEETING AT THEATRE. During the meeting we’ll be nominating members of the School Site Council (SSC) and English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) for the next two school years.

6:45-8:00 p.m. - CLASSROOM PRESENTATIONS. All teachers will be presenting their back to school information
4 times. As you know, we have lots of parents that have more than one student in our school and often cannot get around to all of their teachers, in turn teachers have a difficult time doing their normal back to school night presentations with so much traffic in the classroom at various times. The following are the times when a teacher is to begin the presentations: 6:45 p.m.; 7:00 p.m.; 7:15 p.m.; 7:30 p.m. The teachers will be in their classrooms until 8:00 p.m. for any floating parents still trying to reach their teachers. PE and Russian departments are located in Dudley B. Please direct any Russian or PE questions to them. Administration will be onsite, walking around campus, stopping by the classrooms.

I can't wait to see familiar faces, meet some new ones, and hear about everyone's summer adventures! I look forward to seeing the bright, smiling faces of our students, parents  and staff at our annual Back to School Night on August 22. Here’s to another year of growing, learning, and having fun!  Welcome back to another exciting school year!

Larissa Gonchar,
Principal
