Looking Forward
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not
an act, but a habit." – Aristotle
It is a privilege to take over as principal of Sonoran Sky and I am
grateful to be given the opportunity to serve the students, staff
and families at SSES. The reputation of the staff, students and parents
at Sonoran Sky is outstanding. It is highly evident the school community
at Sonoran Sky is dedicated to the development of the whole child
and works tirelessly to ensure all students are successful. Our passionate,
caring and incurably positive staff will continue teaming together
to support and encourage students in expanding their knowledge as
they develop strong skills that will allow them to meet their goals.
As we look ahead to what this new school year holds, it is my goal
that we continue to partner with both families and the community to
educate our students. I encourage all of you to become involved in
the educational program at Sonoran Sky. There are many ways to get
involved in your child’s education. Becoming a member of the
PTO, serving on a school or district committee, attending school activities
during and/or after school hours and supporting your child at home
with daily homework name a few ways you are able to support your child
and stay involved.
According to the AZ School Report Card, Sonoran Sky has been rated
an Excelling school and has been previously named an A+ school by
the Arizona Education Foundation. Be assured, we are not resting on
this accolade, but we will continue to strive for ways to improve
our programs in order to best serve each student as an individual.
Continuous improvement will be the target—growth in academic
achievement, growth in parent/teacher communications, growth in community
outreach to build and strengthen partnerships, growth in student character
development, and growth in fine-tuning what makes this a great school
where excellence is the norm.
I look forward to working with each of you as we continue to build
a school where all children from all backgrounds will reach high levels
of mastery and gain confidence in their advancing skills. Together
we will make a difference!
In support of teaching and learning,
Jennifer Minor
Principal, Sonoran Sky Elementary School
