From the Principal’s Desk

 

Dear Robert Morris Family,

Last year was filled with lots of learning, relationship building, community support, fun events and educational trips. Schoolwide, Literacy/Reading was our strongest subject. Some grades made double-digit growth! Our rising 4th graders’ Grade 3 PSSA scores grew in both Math and Literacy by leaps and bounds!! The District has adopted a new Literacy curriculum, so we are ready to leverage our strengths and meet our goals. I am encouraging our students to advocate for themselves and to be accountable for their own learning. This means setting goals; tracking their own progress towards those goals; and, not settling for anything less than a superior educational experience each day!

This year we will be getting a new position and some new features to enhance the overall school experience: an Assistant Principal, enhanced security features, a book vending machine to support our literacy efforts, and participation in an improved Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework. This approach will improve social emotional competence, academic success, and school climate. Fiesta Schoolyards will be transforming part of our playground so that students can have a fun and attractive outdoor experience. We are also happy to announce our new partnership with the Community College of Philadelphia!

As always, we NEED our families and school community to support us by joining our School Advisory Council (SAC); signing up to volunteer; and, donating items for our students and/or staff as needed. Lastly, we are aligning our goals with the District’s Goals and Guardrails to ensure a successful 2024/2025 school year!

*While Robert Morris School is a small school with a big heart, we are looking to increase our enrollment. Please share our school info with anyone in the catchment area who may be in need of a school placement*

 

In partnership,

Tameron Dancy, Principal
