New Horizons Elementary held a grand reopening of its newly renovated Media Center On Tuesday, August 29! This transformative addition reflects the school's commitment to creating a dynamic and adaptable learning environment that caters to the evolving needs of students. This marks a significant step toward fostering dynamic and inclusive learning environments for students in the school’s International Spanish Academy Dual Language Program.

Two high schools in the District are back among the top 100 public high schools in the nation, according to the annual rankings released by U.S. News & World Reports. Suncoast High pulled ahead, ranking 70th, and Alexander W. Dreyfoos Jr. School of the Arts ranked 90th across the country. Both schools routinely landed near the top of U.S. News’ list before the magazine changed its system in 2019, adding more schools to the review and more considerations to the ranking process.

In today's world, the skills of reading and writing have never been more important. This District strives to help students develop into skilled readers, writers, speakers, and thinkers and to increase these abilities over time so that children are prepared for future challenges and opportunities. Consistent practice with reading, writing, and speaking is the key to success. Begin with supporting your child's at-home reading for 20 minutes each evening. Making this a family activity or establishing a family reading time will help to show your child that reading is important and is also something fun to do!
