A Message from our new principal, Jamar Mckneely

Greetings Parents/Guardians of Alice Harte

It is with great compassion and humility that I write this letter to invite you to a very important meeting being held at Alice Harte on Monday, June 29, 2009 at 6 p.m. At that time, I will introduce myself as the new principal of Alice M. Harte Charter school as well as inform you on student achievement levels, enrichment programs, and my vision for the 2009-2010 school year at Alice Harte.

Statistics have shown that when parents are involved a child’s achievement level increases by 50%. I encourage you to attend this meeting!!!!

There is a quote I read everyday by  Marian Edelman that states "The question is not whether we can afford to invest in every child; it is whether we can afford not to.” My answer is simple, our children deserve the best. Everyday I go to work prepared because our students deserve quality instruction, teachers who care and a safe world-class environment. I also believe that education is the only realistic way our students can survive in a world that constantly provides negative influences and glamorize crime.

Parents, I need your help!!!!  

It is my vision to turn Alice Harte once again into the #1 public school in New Orleans. It will take work, but we can do it. However,  we can’t do it alone!!!!!

Once again please plan to attend this important meeting on Monday, June 29, 2009, 6 p.m. in the school cafeteria. This meeting is designed to inspire us all. Alice Harte students are welcomed and encouraged to attend.
