Principal’s Message

October 7, 2017

Let me start off by saying that it has been an honor and a privilege to be part of the Slauson community and to share the work with families that greatly value education. I am so thrilled to be going into my seventh year with Slauson and to be fulfilling my role as principal for  the third year. Over the course of three years we have made significant improvements in several elements that make our school the school of choice. With most of our staff returning for the 2017 – 2018 school year, we are ready to take our work to the next level and to continue pushing student academic growth. Through the application of our organization’s vision and mission coupled with our school site vision and mission, Slauson will focus on a shared vision that emphasizes school wide work in building relationships, strengthening our culture & climate, and expanding on instruction to develop strong readers. I have prioritized my work this year by focusing on developing leadership capacity in all of my teachers so that we can balance responsibilities in efficient and productive ways that move our school forward. This year, as outlined in our school action plan, we will work hard to increase performance in five areas: ELA instruction, English Language Development and Standard English Language Development, Math instruction, struggling readers, and school-wide culture. My hope is that we will continue to strengthen a learning environment where students feel safe and are having fun while learning. In addition, I am determined to foster a professional learning environment for all staff members where teaching and learning is meaningful and fun.

As I always say to my team; Together we can build a better Slauson.

Sincerely,

Dr. Paul M. Delgado, Ed.D.
Principal, Aspire Slauson Academy
