PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Welcome to Abraham Levitt Middle School, home of the Lions! I trust you will enjoy our webpage as you become familiar with our school culture. At Levitt, we recognize that middle school students experience great changes intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically during these years. We have dedicated, caring, staff members that are committed to help students successfully transition to high school. At Levitt Middle School, we believe it is up to us to support and guide them through this time of transition. We are educators, guides, surrogate parents – we discipline, we encourage, we praise, we cry with them and we celebrate with them. We promote success for all students!

Instructionally, we are developing an academic program that addresses individual students learning needs. Our school-wide focus is on improving Language Arts and Math test scores. As educators, we work diligently to improve our students’ reading and writing skills so they can be successful in all subject areas. Teachers of every content area use strategies that increase student proficiency in these important areas. Our commitment is to academic excellence and the development of our students’ individual strengths and talents. After school, teachers tutor students through the 21^st Century program on Monday through Friday. Then for those students who need one-on-one assistance with homework, No Child Left Behind offers help through tutoring organizations. Parents can contact the school if they are interested in any of the tutoring programs. Our ultimate goal is to help every student every day to become a life-long learner.

In closing, I am a strong advocate for parent involvement. From personal experience I know that middle school years can be both a wonderful and challenging time for parents, students and teachers. We are fortunate at Levitt to have a Parent Teachers Association that works to bridge home and school connections. We welcome and want parents and guardians to be involved in our school! You can assist us greatly by setting appropriate guidelines for completing homework and conferring daily with your child about what is being learned in school.

If you have any questions or concerns during the school year, please feel free to contact your child’s teacher or the school’s main office office. I hope that each student will have an enjoyable, rewarding, and positive experience at Levitt Middle School this year!
