LAS M-DCPS ANUNCIAN EL CALENDARIO DE GRADUACIÓN DEL 2017

FECHAS PARA RECORDAR

23 de marzo - Inauguración de la Feria del Condado Miami- Dade24 de marzo - Día de Planificación del Maestro10-14 de abril - Receso de Primavera

Las Escuelas Públicas del Condado Miami-Dade experimentaron otra exitosa Feria Nacional Universitaria el mes pasado. Más de 10,000 estudiantes tuvieron la oportunidad de reunirse con representantes de unas 200 universidades.

LOS ESTUDIANTES EXPLORAN SUS OPCIONES EDUCACIONALES EN LA EXITOSA FERIA NACIONAL UNIVERSITARIA DEL 2017

LAS M-DCPS ACTUALIZAN SU IMAGEN ¡SEA PARTE DE LA TRANSFORMACIÓN!

El concurso del logo de las M-DCPS está en marcha. Se recibieron más de 500 solicitudes y el comité de jueces está determinando los finalistas. El voto público tomara lugar en marzo. Manténgase informado y visite https://mdcpsrefresh.dadeschools.net/ para los últimos detalles.LOS ESTUDIANTES, EMPLEADOS DE LAS M-DCPS APOYAN UNITED WAY

Las M-DCPS celebraron otra exitosa campaña de United Way con 388 planteles que alcanzaron o sobrepasaron sus metas. Los estudiantes recogieron 521.534 dólares y los empleados recogieron 946.898 dólares, un total de 1.468.432 dólares para ayudar a los más necesitados de nuestra comunidad. Las M-DCPS siguen siendo el distrito escolar #1 en el país, lo que representa un testamento de la cultura creada por el liderazgo. Las principales campañas de los estudiantes fueron: William Lehman Elementary, W.R. Thomas Middle, North County K-8, Young Women’s Preparatory Academy, Hialeah High Adult Education Center y Miami MacArthur South.

¿Cuál es el enfoque de las M-DCPS acerca de la tarea? Ha habido mucha discusión local y nacional acerca de la efectividad e idoneidad de la tarea. Hace tres años, el distrito escolar laboró con diligencia junto con educadores, administradores, padres de familia y el Comité Asesor de Participación Familiar y Comunitaria para formular una política actualizada acerca de la tarea. Dicha es manejable y significativa con un énfasis en la calidad sobre la cantidad y la profundidad sobre la longitud y la repetición. Una nueva política aborda la cuestión de la totalidad del niño y proporciona a los estudiantes suficiente tiempo para su crecimiento físico, cultural, social y emocional.
