RICHARD ALLEN PREPARATORY “WHERE LEADERSHIP IS OUR STYLE”

Welcome to a new school year! Within the next few weeks we will open our school doors to welcome our families to a new year. Together we will work to create a year of great learning experiences for our students, focusing on academics and student leadership moving the Leader In Me process to a new level. We will continue to maintain high expectations where respect, accountability, support and excellence are highly evident! We will focus on making our vision and mission the core of our daily work with students, teachers and parents. Each day we want to challenge the students to become interdependent through the daily use of the 7 Habits where they experience private and public victories. We will build shared understanding about what this means and ways parents and teachers can work together to ensure that every RAP student is a leader! Parents, we know you want the best for your children and so do we! We are on the same team. We are excited to have a community of teachers who are committed to sharing best practices to help your child achieve their goals, along with your support and encouragement throughout the year. We have a lot to be excited about as we move into the new school year where we will inspire “greatness”, one child at a time. Looking forward to a great school year! Ms. Clark, Principal
