Dear LoMA Family,
As happens every year, LoMA’s staff has been meeting to evaluate our work this year and plan for next year. In considering our successes for the year, we were especially proud of the outstanding performances this year on our own stage, basketball court, Broadway and at Lincoln Center, the success of our Advanced Placement students, and our “well developed” score on this year’s school quality review. We got this score because of so many of the wonderful lessons I saw throughout our school that included our first dissections, lively projects and improved writing. As always, our counseling team has done a great job taking care of everyone resulting in fewer fights (hardly any) and more focused kids. Our graduates are another source of pride. Nearly 90% of our students who entered four years ago are graduating on time and that over 80% of them will be attending four-year colleges. In areas where we can do better, we have come up with some new policies to improve our students’ success. While we still have many details to work out, here are some of the changes we hope to make for next year.
There are six more days of classes as Regents Week begins next Tuesday. The schedule for Regents, Finals, Scantron testing (for all freshmen) and RCTs is printed on the back of this letter.
