Kwame Nkrumah Academy’s 3rd Grade students ROCKED the ISAT!  Please join me in celebrating ALL of our instructional team K-3 for working so diligently with the students on a daily basis.  A special THANK YOU goes out to the 3rd Grade Team, Ms. Sheryl San Juaquin, Mr. Warren Rhodes, Ms. Tammy Saleem, Dr. Tawana Williams, Mrs. Helen Ross and Mr. Anthony Morgan.  The overall composite scores and breakdowns are listed below. 

CPS City-Wide Goal 85% meeting or exceeding standards

School Name: NKRUMAH        Grade: 3rd

Composite Meets or Exceeds 2010-11                    89.1 %

Reading Meets or Exceeds 2010-11                         87 %

Math Meets or Exceeds 2010-11                91.3%

Although we are excited about our results, we cannot stop here…we have our work cut out for us next year with 3 classes taking the ISAT (3^rd & 4^th grade) and the addition of Science for 4^th grade.  Now, more than ever, it’s going to take the entire Village pulling together, to keep the momentum moving “Forward ever! Backward never”! 

Thank you for entrusting us with your children and congrats to the third grade for a job well done!  You have made the Board of Trustees and “Mama Mo” so proud!
