School for Excellence (09x404)

 To the SFE Community,

 Welcome back!

 We are excited and look forward to a successful and productive year.  We are all partners in this educational journey and together we will continue to make the School for Excellence a safe, secure and welcoming place to learn and grow. Our first day of school is Wednesday, September 5^th.  Please ensure that your child comes to school every day and arrives at school on time.

 We expect all students to be prepared for school work on the first day. Students should have a pen and pencil, a loose-leaf binder with paper and dividers for all subject areas. All classroom teachers will let their students know what they expect in their classes.

 As per Department of Education rules, cell phone and other electronic devices are not permitted in school. These items will be confiscated by security at the door upon entering the school and given back at the end of the day. In addition, students should dress appropriately while attending school. For more information check our school website at www.schoolforexcellence.org, to get information regarding your child’s classwork and school events. Also, as per DOE rules, students are NOT allowed to wear do-rags in school.

 Our school campus has the services of a fully staffed Montefiore clinic with full services.  Please visit our website to read more about this great service and to download an application. Also, our 2018-2019 school’s schedule is included on the website along with various other school-related items.

We will strive to continue to make the School for Excellence a safe, secure and welcoming place to learn and grow. We want your children to continue to take advantage of our programs by participating in our extended day, evening and weekend activities.  Of course, we cannot do this without your help and support. Please make sure your son/daughter comes to school each and every day.  Talk to them about their teachers, subject classes and homework. 

 Finally, my door is always open and together we will continue our mission of providing your children with the education that will make them prepared for the challenges of college and careers of the 21^st century.

Sincerely,

Jeff Houston
