Show Transcript

Hello Excelsior Families, This is your Principal Rodney Orji, welcoming all new and returning families to Excelsior Preparatory High School.

Excelsior has had some exciting events take place. Ms. Burney has done a great job encouraging our Student Council to advocate on behalf of the student body by holding robust meetings. The school came together and celebrated school culture with our first Spirit week this year. Staff and students dressing the same on twin day especially demonstrates the strong bonds we have built.

In October, we had meaningful advisories as part of our Hispanic Heritage month celebrations. As well as our first Movie Night which had a great student turnout. On Fridays, our staff and students wore pink in honor of breast cancer awareness.

Senior Breakfast was a success and it was a nice way to celebrate the class of 2023. Some of our students went on the I Will Graduate Trip to the Barclay Center. 11th and 12th graders were invited to attend an in-house College Fair on November 15, in the gym during advisory.

Our clubs are off to a great start, I want to shout out Mr. Leggio and Ms. Branning. Mr. Leggio has had a full-bodied start to his culinary club. Ms. Branning, with her breakfast club, is able to ensure the early arrival of all attending students. During Parent Teacher conferences taking place on November 17 and 18, I suggest you ask your child’s first-period teacher how their attendance is. If they are struggling, I strongly suggest they attend the breakfast club. Registration for Parent Teacher Conferences is on the website at ephschool.com

A few more upcoming dates to keep in mind. This Friday, November 18, is our 3rd PROSE DAY. Wednesday, November 23, is our Jerky Turkey Celebration. This is a time Excelsior gets together to celebrate our Excelsior Community. Our Students, Parents, Staff, and Administration have demonstrated just how much of a close nit family Excelsior is, and that should be celebrated! Thank you in advance for the donations made in order to make Jerky Turkey possible! There is no school on Thursday, November 24, and Friday, November 25. Classes resume on Monday, November 28.

Marking period 1 ended on Friday, October 28, students can find their report cards on TeachHub in students’ documents. Parents or guardians can find their child’s report card on the grades tab in the NYCSA portal.

I want to take this time to thank our Excelsior students that attended and represented our school at the High School Fair on November 10, at The Linden-Renaissance Middle School. Our students did an amazing job, they demonstrated character, spontaneity, and eloquence.

I look forward to continuing our traditions and building on our success with your help. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Break Excelsior Family
