Principal's Message

Dear Free Orchards Families,
Welcome to the 2022-23 school year! I look forward to returning as the principal of Free Orchards and anticipate another successful year partnering with the staff and community to promote success for all of our students.
The staff of Free Orchards are passionate educators who are dedicated to providing a quality school experience for your child. They are sensitive, caring professionals who are committed to providing enriched experiences that include all learners. We are proud to work with our community partners such as the Right Brain Initiative, Adelante Mujeres, and SMART to provide opportunities for our students. Parent involvement, too, is vital to your children’s success, and we ask that you continue to play an active role in their education.
As we move into the new school year, we will leverage the success of our strong PBIS behavior systems, our Dual-Language program, and an inclusive model of instruction to promote success for all. We look forward this year to a renewed focus on writing instruction, academic language development, and improved school climate. Our new Wellness Room is a great resource to teach children the skills they need to be resilient learners.
Thank you for trusting us with the education and caring development of your child. If you have questions or concerns that arise at any time, please do not hesitate to give your child’s teacher or me a call. Family support is a critical link to student achievement. We want to hear from you!
In partnership,
Karen Murphy
Queridas Familias de Free Orchards,
¡Bienvenidos al año escolar 2022-23! Espero que al volver como la directora de Free Orchards, poder anticipar otro año exitoso de asociación con el personal y la comunidad para promover el éxito de todos nuestros estudiantes.
El personal de Free Orchards son educadores apasionados que se dedican a proporcionar una experiencia escolar de calidad para su hijo. Son profesionales sensibles y cuidadosos que están comprometidos a proporcionar experiencias enriquecidas que incluyen a todos los estudiantes. Estamos orgullosos de trabajar con nuestros socios comunitarios como, La Iniciativa del Cerebro Derecho (Right Brain Initiative), Adelante Mujeres y SMART para brindar oportunidades a nuestros estudiantes. La participación de los padres también es vital para el éxito de sus hijos y les pedimos que continúen desempeñando un papel activo en su educación.
A medida que avancemos en el nuevo año escolar, aprovecharemos el éxito de nuestros sólidos sistemas de comportamiento PBIS, nuestro programa Inmersión Dual y un modelo inclusivo de instrucción para promover el éxito para todos. Esperamos este año un renovado enfoque en la enseñanza de la escritura, el desarrollo del lenguaje académico y el clima escolar mejorado. Nuestra nueva sala de bienestar es un gran recurso para enseñar a los niños las habilidades que necesitan para ser estudiantes flexibles.
Gracias por confiar en nosotros con la educación y el desarrollo de cuidado de su hijo. Si tiene preguntas o inquietudes que surjan en cualquier momento, no dude en hacer una llamada al maestro de su hijo(a). El apoyo familiar es un vínculo crítico con el logro estudiantil. ¡Queremos escuchar de usted!
En asociación,
Karen Murphy
