Children are exposed to a plethora of activities for their judicious all round development with an amalgam of ethics and technology. This is accomplished by a levitate balance between quality and quantity of our academics and extracurricular activities. We, at Ashoka Hall emphasize on rooting our students firmly into a fruitful blossoming, by harnessing unbound talents of the young learners with unique needs. I am extremely sanguine that Ashoka Hall Sr.Sec.School since its genesis 2001, a journey of 19 years has offered itself as a Home for sheltering and fostering young minds in their raw state, to shape and mould them into powerful innovators and brilliant scholars. It eventually gets into nature's most gifted pearl of creative ideas, knowledge and critical thinking that ever revolutionized the world. A child's mind is like wet cement which can be moulded by recurring and nurturing, a shell of broad spectrum of earning opportunities and experiences. It is my privilege and honor to serve as your child's Principal.Lt is my ardent pleasure to present yet another edition of our school magazine INSIGNIA 2019-20. You are more than welcome to email me directly or call my secretary, Laura Torres, to schedule a meeting with me if you have any concerns or questions. Please let us know how we can help you throughout the year. I can assure you we are going to make this our best year ever! We are proud to work in a school named after such a great man like Armando Chapa! I am super excited about starting this year and I hope you are also despite all the uncertainty. Can you believe it?! It is our #quinceanos and we hope to gather and celebrate in late Spring as we continue to Live the Chapa Legacy. We will also roll those out to you all.Д¬MS opened in 2006 and this year marks our 15th year. Once we get closer to in-person learning, we will roll out new videos and learning about how school will look on campus for those coming. This first week, students will be learning all about Schoology and virtual expectations. It is an important life skill and we expect all our students to make progress every year. We want our students to take ownership of their grades and set goals for every assessment. Our teacher will continue to provide our students with timely feedback so look for student trackers in all core classes. These are such important executive functioning skills our kids need to learn. Schoology will be helpful for students as they will see (as will you) all their assignments on a calendar and grades posted. Grades will be entered by Monday at midnight weekly so that you may check every Tuesday morning for grade updates. Our teachers will continue to email you all at least every two weeks regarding upcoming content and any other important information. Our teachers are ready and willing to help provide help, support, extend their learning and make sure every student is excelling in all areas. We need our students to learn to work on their own and problem solve, then come ask for help. Our virtual learning will require our students to be a little more independent but that's a good thing. Our teachers have been working hard to ensure your children are challenged and working to their potential. Our next priority is to make sure our students are getting what they need academically. We will still have our Students of the Month and Cougartime. We will still have positive behavior supports to encourage our students to do great things every day. We want them to feel connected to CMS even through a camera and we are going to continue to do some of those awesome and amazing things we usually do as a campus. Reaching out and touching base with our students is a huge priority for our teachers to start creating those virtual relationships with all kids. We ask for your grace and patience as we begin our new school year as we know there will be some bumps along the way. However, we know implementing our new systems will come with some challenges. We have all worked hard to be as prepared as possible. We have all stretched ourselves to become proficient in the use of many different, new tools to enable us to engage with our students, and been knee deep in mastering our new learning management system (LMS) Schoology.

We knew our students would probably be learning virtually so we have been on a journey of learning how to teach virtually. I can tell you that our teachers have been getting ready for this year since June. The only thing consistent these past few months is change, but such is life right now. This has been such an interesting summer.
