Welcome to school year 2024 – 2025!  Frank Sparkes School is a 2014 National Blue Ribbon School, 2014 Title l Achievement School, and 2020 California Distinguished School.  We are proud of our national recognition and state achievements in closing the achievement gap for our students!

The staff and I are excited about creating an optimal learning environment for all of our students in the classroom.  We believe education is an economic equalizer and work hard to ensure all of our students have a bright future.  With this belief, the staff is dedicated to providing a high quality education with academic rigor for every child every day.  We are building a culture of valuing education and enthusiasm for learning.  Thus, our goal is to produce proficient students who will be career and college ready in order to compete in this competitive global society.

The expectation for us is to continue providing a high quality education regardless of the challenges.  Thus, I am emphasizing quality over quantity in instructing our students.  The four areas of focus will be on Reading, Writing, Math, and ELD.  We will be using our adopted core programs for Reading and Math along with supplemental programs.  Thus, the academic game plan is to ensure that students have not fallen behind in their text reading ability and comprehension and to ensure that basic math foundation skills are solidified.

Parents, thank you so much for your support of our students and school.  As always, I know I can count on you as parents to work with us to ensure that our students have continuous academic success!!!!!

Let’s face the academic challenges of our time with Enthusiasm, Dedication, and Advocacy for students!
