Theme for 2009 - 2010:
"Year of the Gorilla"The professional learning community at Escuela Las Morochas is working together to SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY. We strive to assist our community of students to lead by example, using their skills, strengths and determination in a positive, responsible way to become life long learners, and responsible members of the global community.
February 2010 --- ELM Community
Now that we are well into our second semester, I would like to take this opportunity -- on behalf of both the faculty and staff -- to pass along our gratitude to the entire ELM community for working with us to SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY during our “Year of the Gorilla.”
The focus of our educational program is NOT based on improving the quantity of students, but rather the quality of our students’ educational program. However, improving the quality of our educational program has actually increased the number of students we presently have. Presently, we are at a ten year high in terms of the number of students attending ESCUELA LAS MOROCHAS. Please be aware – we DON”T want to be the biggest, we just want to be the BEST! We are simply a small school doing BIG things! In working to be the best, and with our concentrated focus on a strong quality academic program, we have been able to attract (and keep!) top-quality educators. Over the last eighteen months these teachers have built a successful education program, improved student conduct and school spirit; and helped build a pleasant and academically challenging individualized educational environment.
It is my honor to announce that for the third consecutive year most of our teachers will be returning to Escuela Las Morochas. Presently, I have “letters of intent” from 93% of our teachers for the 2010 – 2011 School Year. These teachers want to return simply because they enjoy working with your students, and being a part of our school community. In our small school setting of just over 80 students our educators feel that are able to make a substantial difference in the life, and learning, of your students. “Two things rob people of their peace of mind: work unfinished and work yet begun.” Simply put … our educators’ feel they have more work to do in helping your students learn, not just this present semester, but for the next school year as well.
As Director General over the last few years, I have been … and indeed, as a community, we all are very fortunate in having top caliber educators. (They can even teach in the dark!) We are even more fortunate that most will be returning for a third, or even fourth year. We continue to look forward to working with you this semester, and next school year, to help your students achieve “excellence to the highest level.”
