Greetings students and parents,

        
I hope you are enjoying your summer and completing your summer packets. As for our incoming 6th and 7th, the East Fordham Academy for the Arts, a school of high expectations, will empower our students to take ownership of their own learning to become confident young adults who will demonstrate problem solving and critical thinking.
  Our students will have opportunities to explore the arts and its cultural significance while using the arts as a language to express their ideas. Through these experiences, our students will achieve deep content knowledge in all subject areas. The East Fordham Academy for the Arts will provide the skills that our students will need to enter and excel in competitive high schools, colleges, and beyond.

Since parental involvement is a vital part of the school program, I look forward to partnering with you! At the East Fordham Academy for the Arts you can expect regular communication which will include: monthly calendars and principal's breakfasts, newsletters, curriculum and Music Idol, an art exhibit, and daily updates on our school's website.

For the children,

Ms. Williams
