Golden Apple: Congratulations to Jordan Hartman! | RochesterFirst

Congratulations Mr. Hartman…thank you Alex Reynolds!

We appreciate Mr. Hartman and all of our dedicated Villa of Hope School Staff!

Much to be proud of…Villa of Hope School!

Please join me in showing our genuine and sincere appreciation for our Teachers and Staff at Villa of Hope School. They are dedicated, caring, loyal, and resilient! They do WHATEVER it takes to help our students feel safe in their learning environment. Thank you, Thank you!

WE APPRECIATE YOU Today and ALWAYS!

You will find attached our Revised Full-Reopening Plan going into effect for our ESY Summer Program…and into the 2021-2022 School Year.

Our ESY Summer Program will begin officially on July 5, 2021…but school will be closed in celebration of July 4th/Independence Day, Monday, July 5, 2021. We will open school formally on Tuesday, July 6, 2021. This will be a 6-week program that will finish up on August 13, 2021.

The School Year Calendar is attached and available for downloading. Our plan is to remain fully open for the 21-22 school year. We will be monitoring local and state positivity rates to ensure that our learning environment remains healthy and safe.

We are thrilled to have PUSH back again this school year. They have been terrific Villa of Hope School supporters and partners. Our first introduction was March 8th and March 11th. The team presented a school wide virtual assembly. They will be here for an in-person workshop March 22nd and 25th. We have developed a plan for keeping everyone healthy and safe while having the opportunity to explore physical theatre.

Through the month of April the PUSH team will work with small groups of our youth in preparation for telling their own special stories during a school wide performance early in May.

Thank you PUSH for your commitment, dedication, and loyalty to Villa of Hope School!

The COVID 19 Pandemic has certainly tested our resilience and ability to change and grow.

Our learning community has done an outstanding job adjusting to these unprecedented times. We look forward to reopening fully for our ESY Summer Program.

Our ESY Summer Program will begin on July 5, 2021…but school will be closed on July 5th for the July 4th Holiday. Happy Independence Day! This will be a six (6) week program ending on August 13, 2021. We will see our students back for full days, five days per week on Tuesday, July 6, 2021.

Our Fall School Year 2021-2022 will begin in September. We will be posting our 2021-2022 School Calendar shortly.

It will be our goal to accommodate student and family needs with a focus on Social Emotional Learning as we all adjust to fully reopening school after more than one year.

We have much to be proud of and much to look forward to!

It is this time of renewal and growth that we thank our many supporters and partners.
