CEO's Corner
Dear Parents and Students:It is with great pleasure that we begin the 2010 – 2011 academic year on August 10, 2010. I am certain this year will be filled with much excitement and continued academic achievement for every child in our association. As we move forward this school year, we will focus more intensively on middle school grades, ensuring our students have the necessary skills needed to advance to high school.
While the Louisiana comprehensive curriculum and TAP: The System for Teacher and Student Advancement serves as the basis of our instructional programs, each ACSA school has a specific focus:
- Martin Behrman - Focus: Creative Arts and Social Sciences
- Dwight D. Eisenhower – Focus: Global Studies
- William J. Fischer – Focus: Accelerated Learning Model
- Alice M. Harte – Focus: Arts and Technology
- McDonogh #32 – Focus: Literacy Acceleration
- Harriet Ross Tubman – Focus: Science and Mathematics
- Algiers Technology Academy – Focus: Instructional Technology and College Preparation
- Edna Karr – Focus: College Preparation
- O. Perry Walker – Focus: College Preparation, Career Development, and Community Service
We are very excited that this year also marks the fifth anniversary of ACSA serving nearly 5,400 students across nine schools in Algiers. The leadership and staff in all schools throughout ACSA are committed to our students and parents, and we look forward to working with you to ensure the continued academic advancement of our students.
