Welcome to the new school year!

Over the last year and a half, the Rochester City School District has started on a new pathtoward our goal of ensuring that
every child has access to world-class content taught  by world-class teachers in schools led by world-class leaders.
Our journey on that path is guided by our core values:•
 Achievement
– Improving student achievement through a laser-like focus on teachingand learning with an emphasis on results.•
Equity 
- Equitable distribution of resources based on the needs of schools and students.•
 Accountability 
– Use of data to ensure that we hold adults accountable for the successof all students.Our students are at the center of the work we do every day. Through the collaborative ef-forts of our school leadership, teachers, support staff, partners, and parents and families,we have demonstrated real improvement in student performance:•
More students are meeting state standards in English Language Arts in grades 3-8.• More students are meeting state standards in Math in grades 3-8.• Our four-year graduation rate has increased 13 percentage points in two years.
 And our work continues.We are excited about the new school year and the opportunities it brings for greater growthin student achievement. We are holding our students—and ourselves—to high standardsas we work to ensure that all students are post-secondary ready. The results promise to beexceptional, and we look forward to sharing them with you.Sincerely,Jean-Claude Brizard Malik Evans
