Dear Red Knight Family:
November 16-20, 2015 is American Education Week, which is a time to salute the many people who advocate for quality education as a basic fundamental right, priority and responsibility for the children of Reading. These people include our educators (teachers, support staff, administrators, and substitutes), parents, community partners, faith-based partners and unsung heroes. We are committed to educating a community of learners, who are 17,000 strong, representing 28 countries, speaking 27 languages and are ethnically and educationally diverse. Thus, the importance of remaining a cohesive team and working collaboratively to create sustainable pathways for our children is a paramount priority of importance. The continued work for our children in Reading School District is a complex task but extremely rewarding. You are the village it takes to raise a child, and the true champion of children necessary to groom successful academicians who can succeed in an ever-changing society. Thank you for your continued dedication and hard work. You are greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Dr. Khalid N. Mumin Superintendent Our district is seeing phenomenal academic results, thanks to hard work and dedication of staff and students.
While SPP scores for several local schools dipped, Reading High School's SPP score increased by 5 points, according to results released this week by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The high school's SPP score increased from 60.2 to 65 percent as our district inches closer to reaching the state's 70 percent benchmark. In addition, we are happy to report that RHS is no longer ranked last in SPP scores among Berks County school districts. The announcement of Reading High School’s SPP score is impressive news, particularly as we strive for continuous improvement and academic growth. It signals Reading School District is preparing students for graduation, as well as career and college opportunities. This will be used as a motivating factor for our community of learners and our dedicated staff to achieve infinite possibilities. In addition, it illustrates how student engagement combined with effective teaching and Red Knight pride can generate academic success. |
