Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome to a new school year at Orchard Villa Elementary! We are thrilled to begin another year of growth, achievement, and partnership with our families.
Last year, thanks to the hard work of our students, teachers, and families, we celebrated some historic accomplishments:
· Highest ELA and Science proficiency rates in our school’s history
· Silver STEM School designation
· Recipient of the $50,000 FPL STEM Makeover Grant
These milestones reflect the power of teamwork and our shared commitment to Destination Excellence.
This year, our goal is to soar even higher and achieve an A. To reach this, we need your continued partnership. Here’s how you can help your child succeed:
1. Be Present – Ensure your child is at school every day, on time. Attendance is key to achievement.
2. Be Positive – Encourage your child to take pride in their learning and celebrate their effort and growth.
3. Be Productive – Partner with us to reinforce that school is a place for learning first and that positive behavior supports success.
Our theme this year is “Wild About Learning”—because we believe learning should be exciting, meaningful, and a daily priority. Together, by making school attendance and positive engagement a family priority, we will empower every student to reach their full potential.
Thank you for entrusting us with your children. Let’s make this a year of joy, growth, and academic excellence—together!
With appreciation and enthusiasm,
Tanya Daly-Barnes
Principal
Orchard Villa Elementary School
