MESSAGE FROM SUPERINTENDENT & CEO LIZ BRENNER:
Dear Compass families,
The month of May is a critical time for Compass this year. We have set a goal to have all Master Agreements for the 2026-2027 SY complete by May 29th. Our whole team has been working diligently since January to ensure that everything is in place to achieve this goal, We cannot do it without you!
If you have not already done so please attend one of the MA Overview sessions listed here or complete the Nearpod lesson, don’t forget to complete the Google survey so your ST knows you are ready for your MA. When your ST sends your MA, please be sure to sign it within two days of receiving it to secure your spot for next year.
We have made these changes to address concerns we received from staff and families about how difficult the beginning of the school year is. This new deadline allows us to focus on ordering supplies in the summer and ensuring that every scholar has what they need on day one of the school year. We hope that these changes improve your experience at Compass next year.
Kind regards,
Elizabeth Brenner
Superintendent and CEO
