Dear
Parents/Guardians and all AOHT Community Members,
With Spring
Break beginning tomorrow, I want to welcome you to the final stretch of the
2007-2008 school year!
I am proud to
reflect on some of our accomplishments this year.
·
We
doubled in size!
·
We
received an absolutely glowing report from insideschools.org.
·
Students
have attended 30 job-shadowing, career-exploring events (we had sixteen for the
whole 2006-2007 school year) Thank you
Ms. Francis and Ms. Flannery!
·
Our
business program has located its central office and conference room where
students will benefit from mock interviews, boardroom meetings and business
plan writing sessions.
·
Our
students met Sanford Weil, former Chairman of Citigroup, Andrei Agassi, former
professional tennis champion, Tiki Barber, former New
York Giant and current sports broadcaster, and Marty Markowitz, Brooklyn
Borough President, at the National Academy Foundation’s Gala fundraising event
in
·
Our
students prepared for and participated in our 4th Semi-Annual Share Fair –
thank you to all of our teachers and Ms. Silberman, Principal of Automotive
High School!
·
Ms.
Rebecca Wallace-Segall became our school’s Writing
Teacher-in-Residence guiding our 9th grade students in a memoir
writing project that will end in a professionally published book.
·
We
launched our “Teacher Pages” section of our school website so that teachers can
post homework assignments.
·
AOHT
received a donation from The Village Voice Choice Eats event on March
11, 2008 – thank you Ms. Boyd!
·
We
successfully appealed our Progress Report and had it changed to reflect our
real successes at AOHT. Feel free to
view our new Progress Report at: http://schools.nyc.gov/OA/SchoolReports/2006-07/ProgressReport_HS_K408.pdf
If it wasn’t
for the hard work of our students, teachers, parents, support staff,
administration, corporate partners and our partnerships with the National
Academy Foundation and New Visions for Public Schools, the list above wouldn’t
be possible. I must also add this –
those accomplishments listed above would not have been possible without one
other major success – the great work done by all of our teachers and students
in our school’s classrooms! I firmly
believe that if it isn’t “happening” in our classrooms, it wouldn’t be
“happening” anywhere else.
I look forward
to seeing you at our next Parent Association Meeting on Wednesday May 14, 2008
– or even earlier should you want to stop by, email or call. Please remember – no matter how you make
contact, you are welcome!
I am honored to
serve as your principal. Thank you for
allowing me this opportunity to provide our students with the services that sets
our school apart from the rest.
Enjoy Spring
Break!
Sincerely
yours,
Adam
