Dear RSPA-NW Families,

Welcome to October and the beauty of the Fall Season! This is always a fun time at school…we’ll be diving in to all things Fall as we gear up for the busy holiday season.

October is a wonderful time of the year, filled with excitement and engagement. I want to thank the scholars who are Student Council (STUCO) this year. They are doing an amazing job helping out around the school. We are excited about their efforts and future works in student governance and look forward to opportunities to develop these young leaders.

To support our efforts to increase academic rigor, RSPA developed a scheduling model to facilitate academic growth. One aspect of this arrangement is the Alternative Learning Time (ALT) period. The implementation of ALT reflects our commitment to help each student at The Rhodes School for the Performing Arts realize his/her full potential.

As a campus, we have designated a block of time during the instructional day for ALT. During this period, your child receives the interventions necessary to encourage progress. ALT occurs Monday-Thursday and addresses topics to include: specific content, critical thinking skills, and general intervention. You are encouraged to reach out to us if you have specific questions concerning the instructional support your child is receiving. Please note that student progress is closely monitored, and ALT assignments will be reviewed regularly.

Thank you for all you do and for entrusting your child's schooling to us. We appreciate your investment, involvement and support.

Sincerely,

Mr. Charles Russell,

Principal
