We are looking forward to our Coloring Contest among the elementary students. Prizes have been provided by Kid's Place. Today's students enjoyed a nice snack after trimming out our sidewalk with fast spinning pinwheels to celebrate the occasion . A big Thank You goes out to staff members Mrs. Kaliente Conway-Glenn, Mrs. Jackie Wilson and Ms. Bridgett Stuart for giving the students guidance.

It is our goal at Horace Porter School is to establish self-confidence in our youth and enable them to improve their lives and reach their desired level of accomplishment. We are implementing social and emotional learning (SEL) in an effect to empower students with the tools to become resilient, life long learners. Teacher Dana Vick requested grant money from the Youth Education Foundation (YEF) in the amount of $1750.00. The grant award was for a Great Idea. Mrs. Vick's project title was Resilient Students. The content in the request was a collaboration from teacher; Dana Vick, Educational Assistant; Kaliente Conway-Glenn and Principal; Dedra Dawson.

FYI: Orientation Information

Please be prepared to fill out your child's orientation package with the aid of a computer that has been set up primarily for this purpose. During the orientation process you will also look at a powerpoint presentation that will familiarize you and your child with our morning process and procedures before students are allowed to enter into the building. It is important that you provide a mask for your child in the colors of blue, black, white or gray and provide a pair of ear buds for their every day use while working on their assigned computer at the school.
