A Message from the Executive Director
Hello,
As we near the end of the school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on our successes and share some exciting news with you.
First and foremost, I want to encourage all of our families to re-enroll for next year if you haven’t done so already. We value each and every one of our students and are committed to providing them with the best education possible. Our school is a close-knit community, and we believe that our personalized approach to learning sets us apart from other schools. If you believe someone you know may thrive at Pivot, we’re always looking to grow our family—we’d be happy to connect with you further to introduce them to our program!
I am also thrilled to announce that one of our staff members, Brandon Gragnano, has been recognized as a finalist for Parenting OC Magazine's Top Teacher awards. This is a tremendous honor and a testament to Brandon’s dedication to our students. We are lucky to have him as part of our team and are excited to highlight him in this newsletter.
In this edition, we’ll hear from a Pivot San Diego student that utilizes our school's schedule flexibility and curriculum personalization to participate in travel hockey. We are proud to offer a flexible learning environment that allows our students to pursue their passions while still receiving a high-quality education.
One of the key components that make Pivot’s educational experience so transformative is our ability to offer personalized programs, like our new ‘Step Up’ course that helps students close gaps in their academic skill sets. Learn more about Step Up and the teachers behind the initiative later in this newsletter!
Finally, I want to highlight our upcoming graduations. This is always a bittersweet time for us as we say goodbye to our graduating seniors and wish them well in their next journey. Find the details for Pivot Riverside’s graduation here —I can’t wait to see you and celebrate our students’ incredible accomplishments together!
Thank you all for being a part of the Pivot family—from our incredible staff who are so dedicated to improving students’ experiences in education to our inspiring students who are motivated to create better futures for themselves and the world. Finish the school year strong!
