A Message From Our Principals
Dear Met Family,
These past few weeks have been different for all of us, but together we are committed to supporting all of our scholars. We are inspired by the commitment to learning we are seeing from our scholars, teachers, and families. Thank you for your support and flexibility during this time. We also know this is an opportunity for our scholars to develop skills around research and independence. The learning continues at home during this time of extended closure, we are committed to ensuring that students receive high quality instruction daily in all their content areas.
Please continue to reach out to us for any and all support that you need as we navigate this new landscape together.
Tyra Williams and Kurt Davidson, Principals
