Principal Goss End of the Year Letter

Greetings Euclid Prep families,

As the school year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt
gratitude for your unwavering support and collaboration. It has truly been a remarkable year
filled with growth, learning, and memorable experiences. We are so proud of our school
community and the incredible efforts of our students, families, and staff.

On behalf of the school, we would like to extend a sincere thank you for entrusting us with the
education and well-being of your children. Your dedication to their success has been
instrumental in creating a positive and nurturing environment that fosters growth and
achievement.

As we transition into the summer break, we want to remind you that our commitment to
supporting our families continues beyond the classroom. We recognize the importance of
maintaining a strong connection with our community during this time, and we have several
resources and events planned to keep us engaged and connected throughout the summer
months.

We have partnered with local organizations and community resources to provide various
programs and activities that cater to different interests and needs. These initiatives are
designed to support the holistic development of our students and families. Some of the resources
and events you can look forward to include:

1.Summer Enrichment Camp: Students were selected by their teacher to participate in the
summer enrichment camp. This camp will cater to students that need more individualized
support in reading and Math. If you would like your scholar to be added to the program, please
reach out to the school.

2.Community Sports Clinics: Stay active and healthy by participating in our community sports
clinics. These clinics will provide an opportunity for students to develop their athletic skills and
enjoy the benefits of physical activity while fostering teamwork and sportsmanship.

3.Family Cultural Festivals: Embrace the rich diversity within our community by attending the
Euclid community family festivals. These events will celebrate various cultures and traditions
through performances, food, and art, fostering an appreciation for our collective heritage

4.Parent Workshops and Support Groups: We understand that parenting can sometimes be
challenging, and we want to ensure you have the necessary support. We will be offering
workshops and support groups throughout the summer to address various topics and provide a
platform for parents to connect and share experiences

These are just a few examples of the resources and events we have planned for the summer. We
will be sharing more details, including dates and registration information, through our school
website, email newsletters, and social media platforms. We encourage you to stay connected
and take advantage of these opportunities to strengthen our school community bonds. Once
again, thank you for an incredible year. Your continued partnership and support are invaluable
to us. We wish you all a safe, enjoyable, and rejuvenating summer break.

Yours in Education,
Darlene Goss

Current parents share their Euclid Prep experiences:

 

“Hello! I am a parent of two Euclid Preparatory School students. This will be my daughter’s third year attending the school and I must say the school is very great. They are very good with communicating with me and my daughters. The teachers have been very excellent in working with them and improving their skills. I would definitely recommend to anyone to send their child here!” – Ms. Mitchell, parent of 2 Euclid Prep students

“Euclid Preparatory School has shown me and my children that we made a great choice in picking a new school. As a parent, I picked this school because it is a charter school with a lot of diversity. I didn’t want my children to feel overwhelmed with having a big class and school. I wanted them to feel just as comfortable here as they did at their old charter school. After I had a tour with one of the Deans, I was sold! Next was the hard part, selling my children on the school. I told them that the staff here were more diverse in age and race than the last school. The staff at Euclid Prep are up to date with how to engage with children in these times – they don’t see the children as just students, the staff lets them know and shows them that they are more than just a person in the world. There are not enough words that I can put together to express how excited and relieved that my children want to stay at Euclid Prep for the next school year. Thank you so much to the whole Euclid Prep staff. Because of you all, my children love their new school, friends and they make learning fun!” – Ms. Adams, Parent of 2 current Euclid Prep students

“I am so pleased with how my children have progressed going to Euclid Preparatory School. Thank you for your help, my children are very happy. This school provides education in a more understandable way. This school follows strict rules in discipline and this is a place where my children learn enough worthwhile things to make a strong, smart start in life! I appreciate all the time and effort the teachers, Deans, and other staff members put in with my students. THANK YOU!! – Ms. Avery, Parent of current 3rd and 5th grade students at Euclid Prep

 

 

Greetings Euclid Preparatory School families,

We are ending week three of online learning! We appreciate all of our families’ resilience, and patience for working with your students and Euclid prep to make online learning successful. We appreciate the feedback we are receiving and we have been making adjustments to ensure we are meeting all scholars needs. Please continue to reach out to the school with any questions or concerns you all may have or that you may be experiencing.

A few updates and reminders:

• Please make sure your students charge their devices each night.
• If your student is going to miss a live session, or if they are unable to complete their work for the day, please call the office or your students dean to inform us.
• If your student cannot have their camera on, please make sure you let the teacher or Dean know.
• Students should not be laying down, or eating during live sessions.
• Teachers should be able to see students faces.
• Please be mindful of your student’s backgrounds while they are on video.
• Please be sure to limit distractions and noise.

I know as parents we want to help our children as much as possible, and we truly appreciate all of our parents for working so closely with the teachers and students. If you are sitting with your student and helping them, please make sure you utilize the chat feature if you have to ask the teacher a question or specific questions. You can also set up an additional time to have a one on one conversation with the teacher so that it does not interrupt the instructional time. Also, try to allow for your student to try on their own before you step in and assist them.

* Please be sure to make sure your students are taking care of the school issued devices. We have limited devices for replacements. Therefore, please handle them with care.

We are taking all feedback into consideration as we all navigate these uncharted waters. We are always here to help and support our families.

As we get closer to the end of the first nine weeks I will be sure to provide you all with updates as to how we will proceed with the remainder of the school year.

**Please make sure you join our meet the teacher event on Monday September 28^th. There is NO SCHOOL for students on Monday.

We look forward to a great year with your students virtually and hopefully in person very soon!

 

Yours in Education,

Darlene Goss
Principal
