Dear Park School Parents and Guardians,
We have two very exciting announcements in this week’s Wolf Pack Press of the school 2010-2011 school year. First, we are absolutely thrilled to announce that Mr. Matt Melamed will be the next principal of Park School Campus. Mr. Melamed was part of the Park School design team that helped open Park School Campus in 2007 and has a thorough understanding of the vision, commitment, and community of our neighborhood school.
Mr. Melamed previously served as Park School Campus History Teacher and Activities Director from 2007 to 2009. Since 2009, Mr. Melamed has served as District 46’s Curriculum Coordinator where he has overseen the successful adoption of our new K-8 math curriculum, led the district’s K-8th Grade Curriculum Coordinating Council, and has been in charge of the district’s professional development plan. We are looking forward to an extended transition time and are confident that Mr. Melamed will be an outstanding leader of Park School for many years to come.
We are also pleased to announce that Park School Campus is the recipient of The Blue Ribbon Lighthouse Award for 2011. Staff, students and parents were surveyed on nine essential components of effective schools and members of the Blue Ribbon team participated in a site visit. Strengths and areas for continuous improvement were outlined and addressed leading to Park School Campus meeting or exceeding the criteria of all nine categories.
The Park School staff is very excited and honored to be recognized. We have always known that Park has an extremely dedicated and professional group of educators. This assessment serves as confirmation. The process looked at the following nine essential components: school organization and culture, leadership and educational vitality, professional community, active teaching and learning, student focus and support, school, family, and community partnerships, indicators of success, challenging standards and curriculum, and technology integration.
We are so proud of the Park School Campus community and the incredible development and growth of our school during the last four years. Park School Campus is simply a fantastic place to learn! Congratulations, Park School students, parents and staff!
Sincerely,
Craig Keer Vince Murray Park School Campus Notes / Activities June 3, 2011
