Letter from the Principal

Principal Jones

Dear OEC Families,

Welcome back to school for 2024-2025!

I am proud of last year’s accomplishments.  We restructured the school day to optimize instructional minutes, redesigned our program for visually impaired/blind (VIB) students, and implemented the new Illustrative Mathematics curriculum!  On the PSSA, 41.6% of students performed at the Proficient/Advanced level in ELA and 13.1% scored Proficient/Advanced in Math.

This year, we are rolling out the new Expeditionary Learning ELA curriculum and focusing on Multi-Tiered Systems of Support to help students who struggle with academics and social emotional learning.  Our goals are:

  • At least 43.62% of grade 3-8 students will score proficient/advanced on the ELA PSSA
  • At least 17.62% of grade 3-8 students will score proficient/advanced on the Math PSSA
  • At least 80.60% of all students will attend school 90% of days or more

I look forward to continue working with you to ensure all of our students are successful!

 

Sincerely,

Principal Jones
