COMMUNITY ROOTS CHARTER SCHOOL IS A RIGOROUS LEARNING COMMUNITY WHERE EDUCATION IS EMBEDDED IN MEANINGFUL REAL-WORLD CONTEXTS AND CHILDREN ARE DELIBERATELY TAUGHT TO SEE THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN SCHOOL AND THE WORLD. COMMUNITY ROOTS STUDENTS WILL MEET OR EXCEED THE NEW YORK STATE STANDARDS AND BE PREPARED TO EXCEL IN THE 21ST CENTURY BY BECOMING INDEPENDENT THINKERS AND WORKING PRODUCTIVELY WITHIN A DIVERSE GROUP OF LEARNERS. AT COMMUNITY ROOTS, STUDENTS LEARN TO COMBINE CURIOSITY WITH APPROPRIATE APPLICATION, WHICH LEADS TO DEEP UNDERSTANDING AND THE CONFIDENCE TO BECOME WHO THEY WANT TO BE.
COMMUNITY ROOTS CHARTER SCHOOL IS DEDICATED TO PROVIDING A HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION.
OUR CORE VALUES AT COMMUNITY ROOTS REALLY SET THE FOUNDATION FOR THE WORK THAT WE DO EVERY DAY. THESE ARE A SMALL SET OF GUIDING PRINCIPLES THAT HAVE A PROFOUND IMPACT ON HOW EVERYONE IN OUR SCHOOL STRIVES TO THINK AND ACT. THEY HAVE INTRINSIC VALUE AND ARE OF SIGNIFICANT IMPORTANCE TO THE STAFF AND CHILDREN AT COMMUNITY ROOTS. SINCE WE ARE AN EXTREMELY DIVERSE COMMUNITY AND ALL ENTER THROUGH OUR SCHOOL DOORS WITH A VARIETY OF BACKGROUNDS, THOUGHTS, AND IDEAS, IT IS THESE FEW AND EXTREMELY POWERFUL GUIDING PRINCIPLES THAT BECOME THE COMMON GROUND THAT WE INVITE ALL OUR CHILDREN TO BE A PART OF AND THE VALUES THAT THEY ARE ASKED TO GUIDE ALL THEIR ACTIONS.THE CORE VALUES ARE EMBEDDED IN OUR EVERY DAY INTERACTIONS, BUT EVERY YEAR FROM SEPTEMBER TO DECEMBER WE FOCUS ON MORE EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION ACROSS THE SCHOOL. BEGINNING WITH THE CORE VALUE: HONOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS, WE TAKE 2 WEEKS AND WORK OUR WAY THROUGH ALL THE CORE VALUES. DURING THIS 2-WEEK SPAN, ACTIVITIES, READ-ALOUDS, AND DISCUSSIONS TAKE PLACE AROUND EACH CORE VALUE.FOR THE 2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR, WE SERVED APPROXIMATELY 474 STUDENTS IN GRADES KINDERGARTEN THROUGH EIGHTH.
