Dear Retriever Families,
During the 2023-2024 school year our Pre-K program at Triadelphia Ridge Elementary School is participating in Maryland Accreditation.
Our Pre-K program has recently completed their self-appraisal using the Maryland Accreditation Standards. Participating in Maryland Accreditation is a way for our Pre-K program to demonstrate its commitment to providing a high-quality learning environment and continually making improvements to benefit children, families, and staff. Our self-appraisal team consisted of teachers, administrators, family, and community members. As a result of our initial self-appraisal, we have developed a Program Improvement Plan that will address the following goals:
Over the next few months, we will be collecting documentation and artifacts to verify the quality of our program. We’re eager to make program improvements, and achieve Maryland Accreditation! If you have any questions about Accreditation or our Accreditation Program Improvement Plan, please feel free to contact us or our Pre-K teachers, Melissa Palczewski and Michelle Sauro.
Warmly,
Dr. Tiffany TRESler, Principal TRES
Mr. Kory Hiel, Assistant Principal TRES
