Motivated Empowered Arts & STEM Public Charter School

Coming soon, virtual townhall meetings about our school and community needs. We are also launching our website too. See you soon

Hello Charles County parents and community leaders, we are gearing up for the next round of MSDE funding to start our charter school. The plan moving forward is to start up Preschooler age 3 to second grade, and adding a grade each year after opening until we reach the 5th grade. We will keep you posted on the status of our MSDE application as we have plans to submit to CCPS in December with an opening date of August 2022.

Keep us lifted in a positive light this time around, and be on the lookout for our website coming in September.

April is Mathematics and Statistical Awareness Month. You can find statistics everywhere—on baseball fields, road trips, and even on your smartphone. Learn how Statistics in Schools is bringing awareness to the classroom about the value and use of data in our everyday lives. We offer a variety of classroom resources with real-world Census Bureau data to help introduce students to interesting and relevant statistics in a kid-friendly way. There’s something available for every grade level! This newsletter provides a sampling of our math activities, Fun Facts, and a warm-up activity with data related to April observances.

Great to know.

After three meetings, one which was the pre-application interview NO questions. Last was the pin in my balloon. Still no questions about our application, but you deny something you NEVER read for yourself. There are statements in the denial letter that let's me know that they did not read the application, and had no intentions of reading it. THIS IS NOT OVER. See for yourself.

Many are still in the dark about what a public charter school is. So, I have borrowed the following definition from the National Charter School Alliance website. Its about school choice.

Reimagining Education: One school, one classroom, one student at a time
Charter schools are independently-operated public schools that have the freedom to design classrooms that meet their students’ needs. All charter schools operate under a contract with a charter school authorizer – usually a nonprofit organization, government agency, or university – that holds them accountable to the high standards outlined in their “charter.” It is common to see charter schools led by former teachers who wanted to take the lessons they learned in the classroom and apply those lessons to an entire school.

Each of the more than 7,000 charter schools is unique – both inside and out. Some focus on college prep, some follow a STEM curriculum, and others integrate the arts into each subject. Most charter schools are located in cities, but there are charter schools in suburban and rural areas as well. Some charter schools require uniforms, others have longer school days, and some teach their entire curriculum in two languages. The possibilities are endless, but charter schools aim to provide a range of options so that parents can choose the public school that best fits their child.

The reasons that parents choose charter schools for their children are just as unique as the students themselves. They choose charter schools because of the strong, dedicated teachers, because the school's focus matches their child’s needs, or simply because their child was struggling in their assigned public school and needed to try something new. Charter schools provide families with options in public education, allowing parents to take a more active role in their child’s education.

Update...MSDE application is waiting for approval, and CCPS the same. We will keep you posted. Go MEAS PCS.
