August 4, 2016 Dear Parents and Students of the Big Apple Academy, As you may have heard on the news, the New York State assessment results have been released. With great pride and pleasure I share the news that the Big Apple Academy, once again, has proven itself worthy to remain in the top 3% of all New York State schools. Our students scored in the 99th percentile in ELA and Math! Despite all of the difficulties presented by these exams, our students overcame every obstacle and successfully passed another important milestone. I am delighted to congratulate our students who worked so hard throughout this past school year. You have earned every great honor to call yourselves the best scholars in New York State! Congratulations to the parents who tirelessly work to be involved in their children’s academic lives! Your efforts have proven that when parents and a school collaborate, great things happen. I sincerely thank you for your endeavors and hope that you will continue to support the Big Apple Academy to maintain its traditions of excellence. Congratulations to all of our teachers and to the Chairpersons of the English and Math Departments on a job well done! Every student’s struggles, every difficulty may be overcome when teachers devote themselves entirely to their profession and you clearly have done so. In this next school year, I wish you even greater successes! Let us all work together to create a legacy for our unique school, an academic institution steeped in traditions of a multicultural community that facilitates and emphasizes learning at its best. Wishing you all the best in the new school year!
Sincerely, Vlad Gorny Principal |
