⭐ As a reminder, Wednesday, June 17, 2026, is the last day of the school year! All students will be dismissed at 1:10 PM. This school year, our students showed up, worked hard, and grew in ways they might not even see yet. We wish all of our families a safe and restful summer. We look forward to welcoming new and returning families back in August for the start of the 2026-2027 school year.

Como recordatorio, ¡el miércoles 17 de junio de 2026 es el último día del año escolar! Todos los estudiantes saldrán a la 1:10 PM. Este año escolar, nuestros estudiantes se presentaron, trabajaron arduamente y crecieron de maneras que tal vez ni siquiera perciban todavía. Deseamos a todas nuestras familias un verano seguro y reparador. Esperamos con entusiasmo dar la bienvenida, en agosto, tanto a las familias nuevas como a las que regresan, para el inicio del año escolar 2026-2027.

Is your student ready to read this summer? 📖Students at Mann Elementary had special visitors help them get ready for a summer full of literary adventures as they received summer reading books, assignments, and reading logs. Reading over the summer is essential to ensuring your student maintains positive momentum and avoids the summer slide, when learning loss occurs. Don't forget to make sure your student has all their summer reading materials prepared before summer break begins.

💙⭐Great teachers make all the difference in the lives of students. That's why we celebrate when their greatness is recognized and awarded. Congratulations to Mr. Gassett from Gratz Prep Middle for being named Teacher of the Year by the City Teaching Alliance. This award is well-deserved, and we are thankful for his continued commitment to student achievement above all. Please join us in celebrating this amazing accomplishment for Mr. Gassett and the Gratz Prep Middle community.

The Mastery Schools' 4th annual STEM Fair brought students and staff from across the network together for a time of innovation and creativity. Student participants from grades K-12 showcased their depth of research and scientific findings, ranging from studies of skin health to the effects of soil on plant vitality.

We’d like to give a huge thanks to our staff volunteers who served as judges, offering feedback and encouragement to our student scientists. Every project reminded us of the importance of our mission and cemented our commitment to student achievement above all. Swipe to see pictures of the incredible student projects and a list of winners.

Providing students with opportunities to learn new skills and expand their interests is a key part of the postsecondary journey at Mastery Schools. That's why we partner with NFTE to teach students about entrepreneurship and equip them with the skills to develop business ideas they can pitch at the end of the school year.

At this year's annual pitch competition, students showcased their powerful ideas and reminded us all that the future is bright. Congratulations to Thomas Campus, Nassata Gbapo at Simon Gratz High School, and Sierra Hampton from Pickett Campus for their success in the competition. We look forward to seeing how students will utilize these skills to pursue their dreams.
