Fanmi Challengers,
Byenvini tounen soti nan Winter Break! Mwen espere ke nou tout te pase yon tan repoze ak agreyab ak fanmi nou. Pandan n ap retounen lekòl, li enpòtan pou nou revize atant RISE nou yo ak elèv yo pou asire yon anviwònman aprantisaj pozitif ak pwodiktif. Valè debaz nou yo se Rezilyans, Entegrite, Sekirite, ak anvi aprann:
- Rezilyans: Ankouraje elèv yo pèsevere nan defi ak dezavantaj. Aprann yo adapte yo ak rebondi pi fò nan difikilte.

- Anvi aprann: Ankouraje lanmou pou aprann lè w gen kirye, poze kesyon, epi patisipe aktivman nan tout aktivite salklas yo.
An nou tou mete aksan sou enpòtans prezans regilye, paske li jwe yon wòl enpòtan anpil nan siksè akademik pitit ou a.
