Congratualtions to the Class of 2023!
SLCS kicked off Senior Week with our annual "Senior Strut" through the halls of the Elementary Campus! Our Elementary students were thrilled to congratulate and cheer on the Class of 2023 as our Seniors reminisced about their days at the Bristol Pike Campus.
What a captivating evening last night at School Lane Charter School's annual Middle School Spring Exhibition! Our students showcased their academic prowess, presenting chosen summative projects to a packed audience of supportive families. These presentations, spanning from engaging science experiments to profound literary analyses, demonstrated our students' commitment and passion for learning. We are grateful for our School Lane community's support in celebrating these remarkable achievements.
We are excited to announce our upcoming Spring Concert, a night of music and celebration, taking place at our Elementary Campus on May 24th, from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM! We invite you all to join us for an evening of outstanding performances that showcase the incredible talent and dedication of our students and staff. This year, our students have been working tirelessly under the guidance of Ms. Morishita and Mr. Cabrera to bring you a fantastic concert experience that reflects the values and spirit of our International Baccalaureate (IB) program. Our students have been practicing and perfecting their skills to present you with a delightful range of musical selections that will leave you in awe. The Spring Concert will feature the harmonious sounds of the SLCS Concert Band, led by the inspiring Ms. Morishita. You will be captivated by their beautiful melodies and the impressive teamwork of our students. In addition, prepare to be dazzled by the foot-tapping rhythms of the SLCS Jazz Band, brought to life under the expert direction of Mr. Cabrera.
Their vibrant and engaging performances are sure to keep you entertained and tapping your toes throughout the evening. We are incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication displayed by our students and staff, who have come together to make this concert an unforgettable experience. This event is not only a celebration of their talents but also an opportunity for our school community to come together and appreciate the magic of music. Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to support our young musicians and enjoy an evening filled with exceptional performances. The Spring Concert is a testament to the creative and collaborative spirit of School Lane Charter School, and we can't wait to share it with you!

7th grade Advisory Groups were asked to prepare a presentation on the IB Learner Profile characteristic of Caring. They shared their work during this 7th grade town hall gathering. We asked students to think about what it means to be a caring School Lane student day-to-day.
These 7th grade students were nominated by their peers for being caring. Caring is one of the characteristics in the IB Learner Profile.
Hello School Lane Community,
April and May are the months of testing in education! Students are getting ready to sit for PSSAs, Keystones and IB exams. Teachers are busy preparing students. Throughout the year, our students have been taking STAR 360 tests in Math and Language and Literature. We have been working with teachers to use the data which comes out of these tests to inform instruction. I am proud to announce we have seen significant growth in both subject areas across the grade levels. We will continue to use this data to set goals for our students. Over time, we want to help students create their own goals based on these scores and the teacher feedback they get on their assignments based on the IB Rubrics.
On April 27 the 9th and 10th grade student leadership group is hosting a movie afternoon. There is still time to sign up for this event.
On April 28 Middle School SGA is hosting a Culture Day. We are asking families to donate desserts so we can all appreciate the wonderful diversity of the School Lane Community. Please use this Sign Up Genius form to tell us what you are able to donate! I am promising to bring a Bakewell Tart, a British institution in itself!

Over the next few weeks, grades 7-10 will be preparing for a grade level assembly. We have asked Advisor Groups to spend time reflecting on a characteristic of the IB Learner Profile and to prepare something to share in the assembly.
We wish all of our students good luck as they go through the testing these next few weeks. We are very proud of what they have accomplished this year.
Sincerely,
Colette Weber
Principal, IB Campus.
