Aspire Rosa Parks Academy

Dear Rosa Parks Cheetah Families & Students,

 Welcome to another fabulous year with Rosa Parks Academy and welcome to our new families joining us this year. This year marks my 33rd year in education, my 14th year with Aspire and my 5th year with Rosa Parks. I take a lot of pride and joy in helping to educate your children and building bonds with you. Building our school community is something of most importance to me as it takes a village to raise our children. I want you to feel welcomed and supported when you step onto our campus. It is important for me to get to know you and I want you to get to know me as well. My door is always open for you to stop in or you are free to call me at (209) 944-5590.

I have one son, Seth who is 18 and a granddaughter who is 10 months old. When I’m not snuggling my sweet granddaughter I love the beach, spending time with friends, reading, and swimming.   

Last year we began our process of academic acceleration after 18 months of distance learning. We saw growth from most of our students; while we’re not where we want to be, we made a lot of progress. I look forward to continuing that growth with your support and input.

Below are a few things for you to keep in mind as you are thinking through this first month of school:

• First Day Packets All first day packets, including applications for free/reduced lunches, will be sent home the first day of school. All completed papers are due by Wednesday, August 10th.
• Saturday School Our first Saturday school will be on Saturday, August 27th. The time is still to be determined.
• Student Led Conferences. Our first round of conferences will be held September 19th – 23rd. Dismissal will be at 12:30 all week long to allow our teachers to meet with each family.  

Sincerely,

Kim Lewis, Principal
