[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Confusing indeed. New Principal for the 2014-2015 school year and she is continuing for the upcoming 2015-2016 school year. [/quote]

Yes, the new principal is returning to Oyster and I'm very pleased about that fact.  I don't know much about the special needs issues, but she seems to be working very hard to improve Oyster's already very good academics.  Per the letter in the welcome packet, Oyster's students are meeting and exceeding math and reading benchmarks.  For example, by the end of the last academic year, 88% of our K-5 students met their reading benchmarks.  I'm also excited to see that she piloted a program where a group of 8th graders at Oyster took the AP Spanish test, and 75% passed!  One 8th grader even earned a 5--the highest score possible.  I hope the program is expanded this year to include all 8th graders, and that going forward, all graduating students have to take the AP test.  I expect Principal Canizales to continue to raise the academic bar at Oyster.[/quote]
