Dear Charter Oak Families,
As we usher in the 2024-2025 school year, I am excited and optimistic about the incredible journey ahead. On behalf of the entire district and our Board of Trustees, I would like to extend a warm welcome back to all our students, families, and staff. Whether you are returning or joining us for the first time, we are thrilled to have you in our school community.
This year is particularly special as we celebrate a remarkable milestone—our district's 130th anniversary! For over a century, our schools have been a cornerstone of this community, providing quality education and nurturing the dreams and aspirations of generations. This anniversary is not just a testament to our history; it's a celebration of the enduring values that have guided us through the years, including our commitment to excellence, a dedication to inclusivity, and a belief in the potential of every student. We truly believe we have been “impacting lives for 130 years!”
We look forward to the 2024-2025 school year with a renewed sense of purpose as we reflect on our past. The world continues to change rapidly, and so does the landscape of education. We are committed to providing our students with the tools they need to succeed in a global society, including fostering critical thinking, creativity, and resilience. This year, we will continue to innovate, embrace new opportunities, and work together to create a learning environment where every student can thrive.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to our dedicated staff, whose unwavering commitment makes our district a place of excellence. I also want to thank our families for your continued support and partnership. Together, we create the foundation for our students' success, and together, we will make this school year one of the best yet.
As we embark on this new school year, let us carry forward the spirit of collaboration, kindness, and community that has been the hallmark of our district for 130 years. With your support, this year will be filled with achievements, growth, and memorable experiences.
Here's to a fantastic school year and celebrating 130 years of educational excellence!
Sincerely,
Jeffrey D. Jordan, Ed.D.
