Overview of the Year 2 Dwight-EnglEwooD School www.D-E.org
From the Head of School Dear Friends, it is hard to believe that four years have passed since my wife Annette and i brought our family to Dwight-Englewood. watching the class of 2010 graduate this past June was a milestone for us and most certainly for them. it is an exciting time for our newest alumni as they move on, ready to start their college careers, prepared by our faculty for the challenges ahead of them. we bid them farewell, but hope they will remain in touch because we have shared so much with them. i write now to express my deep and profound appreciation for the support you provide Dwight- Englewood School. This Annual report reflects your personal dedication to enhance the ways in which our School fulfills its mission. it is also important for you to know that we remain diligent in our efforts to provide the very best education possible, while being good stewards of our resources. toward these goals, this year the School earned accreditation from the new Jersey Association of independent Schools and the Middle States Association of Schools and colleges. As important as these accreditations are for the School, we can be most proud of the respect and attention Dwight-Englewood has earned from educators both regionally and nationally. The past school year saw many initiatives come to fruition and many begin as we continue to seek excellence in all we do. Based on current research and best practices in education today, we developed and implemented new daily schedules in all divisions. recent and ongoing efforts to improve curriculum and programs would not have been possible without the support of this year’s Annual Fund. These include the development of additional elective and discovery courses, dynamic curriculum mapping to improve and ensure vertical alignment and appropriate academic growth for students, a new “intermester” week, continued development of play-based, child-centered early childhood programming, and focused concentration on our language Arts program, as well as increased opportunities for educational experiences abroad. Additionally, Annual Fund 2009-10 supported, through the funding of professional development, a year’s study of applications from recent brain research, continued progress in methodologies that allow us to reach a broader range of learning styles, continued growth in the important role we play as advisors to students, academic course work and attendance at conferences including presentations from our faculty and staff at several national conferences. Your support also demonstrates to our children the importance of helping others. children across the School supported the people of the earthquake in haiti; while closer to home, they coordinated blood drives, held new events to fight cancer, and supplied the neighborhood food bank. Your gifts helped make our success this year possible. please know how much we appreciate and treasure your support and do our best to invest each dollar wisely. Annette and i look forward to starting our fifth year at Dwight-Englewood and thank you for being a part of this community. Sincerely, rodney V. De Jarnett Ed. D.
