✨ The National PTA School of Excellence program is a prestigious designation awarded to schools that demonstrate outstanding achievements in building effective family-school partnerships. This initiative, launched by the National Parent Teacher Association (PTA), aims to foster an inclusive and supportive school environment where families feel welcomed and empowered to contribute to their children's educational success. Schools that participate in the program undergo a year-long process, including self-assessment, goal-setting, and implementing action plans to improve family engagement. The designation not only honors schools that excel in these efforts but also provides them with resources and recognition to continue their journey towards excellence. By achieving this status, schools signal their commitment to creating a collaborative community where families and educators work together to enhance student learning and well-being. ✨ Congratulations and many thanks to our PTSA Board and every member who supports their vision and purpose! 🫶🏽

🏥 Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take an ultrasound or even participate in an anatomy lab? Sevaral our students were able to do just that by participating in the 2024 Health Sciences Academy at Eastern Virginia Medical School! 🥼 Our students were joined by students from Portsmouth Public Schools and Northhampton Schools in a 2-week exploratory program that allowed students to learn about the different health sciences occupations and careers. It provided a knowledge of career building and technical skills to understand how to be successful in this industry. Students received hands-on experience through pathology, anatomy, physiology lab work, and suturing, and even traveled to Old Dominion University to practice speech therapy, dental hygiene, nursing, and more! This is our second year participating and our students loved it! 🎉
