Yes! Kelly Elementary School is Ready for a Good Year

When asked, “Are you ready for a great school year?” mom Delia Morales, her five-year-old daughter Crystal, Office Assistant Lori Grundler and reply, “YES!”

On August 17, Delia Morales registered Crystal in kindergarten for the new school year; classes begin at Kelly and all schools on August 30. She said, “All four of my other children went to Kelly. Three have graduated from and the fourth will be a senior this year. One [CHS grad] just graduated from a university; another attends MiraCosta College. Kelly gave all of them a good start on their education.”

Principal Armstrong states, “We surmounted by teaching and modeling resiliency, an important life skill. I believe that the resiliency demonstrated by our staff, students and the Kelly community contributed in a major way to the academic progress our children made last year, in spite of losing some instructional time due to challenging incidents and their aftermath. Our Spring 2011 California Standards Test (CST) scores show that progress.”

She concludes, “We are a no-excuses school. That commitment to achieve in the face of adversity is reflected in our demeanor and in our academic successes. We have closed the loop on the past and are excited to move forward to achieve even more this year.”
