Dear Families,
One of the most important events of the year for the school took place this week on Monday and Tuesday! It was the all-important DESE site visit. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education provides oversight for charter schools and ensures the school is fulfilling its mission During this two-day site visit, members of the inspection team from DESE reviewed instruction, mission, governance, financial viability and the school's accountability plan. They visited every classroom and a number of music rooms /ensembles. They observed music integration in our academic classrooms and they even reviewed the lesson plans of each class.
 Interviews were conducted with our entire Leadership Team as well as with members of our Board. They reviewed our data regarding student recruitment, retention and equal access.
It is a most intense review of everything that the school does and during the debrief DESE stated they observed our efforts in meeting the needs of our diverse learners. We will be receiving a written report in about three weeks and it will become part of Conservatory Lab's permanent record.
We are most appreciative of all the planning and hard work that went into the preparations for having this most critical visit go smoothly. We were happy with the student's concentration and performance and the way in which the entire school was working together in harmony.All the effort and care did not go unnoticed by the DESE team.
