We’re using tools like Remind, PowerSchool, Kickboard, and Everyday Labs to keep families in the loop and make sure everyone has the information they need to help our scholars succeed. Together, we can make a big difference!

Make sure you are set up and connected to these accounts this school year!

September is Attendance Awareness Month! Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow

There are so many benefits to good attendance—like better grades, stronger relationships, and more opportunities for scholar success. Let's make this month (and school year!) all about showing up, being present, and making the most of every day. Remember, matters! 🌟

At Breakthrough Public Schools, we're all about creating a close-knit learning community where every scholar can succeed. This month, we’re highlighting Setting High Expectations/High Support.

We aim to recognize each scholar's unique potential, change mindsets, and drive personal achievement. We aim to give scholars and staff the tools they need to succeed.

For our staff and caregivers, boosting scholars' confidence and maturity is as important as preparing them academically. Increased self-confidence helps with discipline and self-advocacy.

Let’s embrace this focus and work together to support our scholars’ growth!

Strong and Responsive Start: What to Expect in the First 15 Days of School

As we kick off the new school year, we want our families to know what to expect during these crucial first 15 days:

📚 School & Classroom Norms: We establish clear norms to create a safe and productive learning environment.

🔄 Systems & Routines: Scholars will get familiar with daily routines that help them feel secure and ready to learn.

🎯 Clear Expectations: We set purposeful and explicit expectations to guide our students' success.

📢 Frequent Communication: Expect regular updates from us to keep you informed and connected.

🧠 Academic & Social-Emotional Assessment: We’ll assess your scholar's academic needs and emotional well-being to tailor our approach to their success.

Together, we'll make this a great start to the school year!

We are happy to announce that power has been restored to our school building. We are busy preparing a safe and welcoming environment for our scholars.

We will delay the start of school to Thursday, August 15, at 8 a.m. We apologize for any inconvenience. As planned, kindergarten scholars will begin school on Thursday, August 15, at 9 a.m.

🎉 This Monday, our Breakthrough community united with one goal: to create a joyful, loving, and academically excellent environment for our scholars.

After the professional development day, I’m confident our collective power will positively impact Cleveland's scholars and families. Our guest speaker from Teach • Hustle • Inspire with Shaun Woodly, Ph.D., motivated us to shape our classrooms and schools with intention, making this our year of impact!

Thank you to our educators and staff who came ready to listen, learn, and grow. We love our scholars enough to try new things, be consistent, and be consistently great. We are Breakthrough Public Schools, and we’re ready.

Here’s to a strong start to the 2024-25 school year!
