Congratulations!!!! Yippee!!! We did it!!!! We are a triple “A” school!!!

This is an outstanding achievement and could not have been done without a herculean effort from the staff and parents here at Norwood Elementary School. The teachers went the extra mile to provide an excellent learning environment for our students and I am truly grateful!!!!

One of our goals this year is to assure that all students meet state standards. We will continue to implement exciting literacy, mathematics and science curriculums that promise significant increases in the students’ ability to read, inquire and problem solve. Special Education students will use the access points to assure higher levels of performance and achievement.

This year we face the challenge of maintaining our high standards and staying focused on the students needs. We must embrace these challenges by teaching literacy in all subject areas, providing deeper instruction, and engaging parental assistance wherever possible.

Our mentorship of teachers will continue through our own networking and conversations about best practices. Coaching, demonstrations and modeling in the classrooms will help us to build capacity and soar to new levels of success.

I am honored and privileged to work side by side with such a conscientious and dedicated staff and community. Thank you for all you do. Let’s make it another great year to remember!!!!

FRANCES A. DADDARIO, Principal
