Thank you to our school counselors that play an essential role in the daily lives of our students. We appreciate all that you do to support our students in many ways, not just in the classroom. Happy School Counseling Week to our amazing Isaac Counselors! #NSCW23 #HelpingStudentsDreamBig
Yesterday evening’s Governing Board Meeting took place at Joseph Zito Elementary School. Principal, Ms. Laura Couret de Gentile presented the school events, parent classes, and the steps Zito is taking towards proficiency. Zito Staff showcased a great opportunity that was presented to their school, which allowed students to participate in STEAM activities and a visit from Larry Fitzgerald. The Governing Board Meeting was followed by a strategic plan update where various departments showcased student data, parent education, communication efforts, and ongoing renovation projects.
Joseph Zito Elementary received a special visit yesterday from Larry Fitzgerald and James Bernstrom, Head of Microsoft Sports Marketing. STEAM Partner, 4th Family also joined the students by providing a fun-filled STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) day to demonstrate tools the NFL uses for their players while building STEAM awareness. Thank you to our community partners for their support as we empower our students to continue to reach their full potential!
Today we reflect on Rosa Parks, a Civil Rights Activist who refused to give up her seat on a public bus because of her race. She helped organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955 to stand up for what she believed in. The boycott lasted 381 days and the 13-month long protest ended with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that segregation on public buses is unconstitutional. Her bravery led to nationwide efforts to end racial segregations of public facilities.
We celebrate the hard work and dedication our school counselors put forth every day for our students. From supporting academic and social emotional learning to providing guidance for student success. #HelpingStudentsDreamBig #NSCW23
The Isaac School District’s vision is to prepare all students to excel in their education and in life. Our school counselors help students with academic achievement strategies, managing emotions and applying interpersonal skills, and planning for postsecondary options. Thank you to our school counselors for #HelpingStudentsDreamBig

Black History Month is a time of remembrance and reflection of civil rights leaders and their legacies. Today we reflect on Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of addressing social problems through collective actions. He was best known for his “I Have a Dream” Speech in 1963. He believed that one day, our nation would not judge people by the color of their skin and that all people were created equal. We continue to honor his contributions for a better future.
