Today was our first College Fair at LPS! Principal Committee, a committee of students that represents their peers, wanted to bring this event to life after much student interest. They did a great job with the support of Juno Keisha Naranjo. Students learned about college opportunities they hadn’t explored or didn’t know existed before and walked away with new knowledge. Great job Royals! Brent Daniels, Ed.D. Leadership Public Schools

Two years of hard work. One incredible team. Today, we celebrate a milestone. We officially moved from the Lower Tier to the Middle Tier in performance categories for charter school renewals — a testament to our collective dedication and belief in our students. (This is the link: https://lnkd.in/dEPtfdeY) In just two years, we: ?? Strengthened school culture, reflected in a 30% increase in Panorama survey data. ?? Reduced the overall suspension rate by 3%, from 7.7% to 4.7%, with an even greater impact for Black students, where suspensions dropped by 13.3%. ?? Built a strong, committed team, growing from a majority Edgenuity online classes to an in-house powerful faculty team with a 70% retention rate. ?? Increased the College/Career Indicator on the California Dashboard by 46.3%. This year, we focus on academic achievement: ?? Improved academic outcomes, with NWEA spring data showing about 76th percentile growth in Math and 63rd percentile growth in English. ?? Doubled the number of 11th graders meeting or exceeding standards in English on the CAASPP interim test. Joining this school two years ago has been a journey of growth and purpose. Month after month, I witnessed change — listening to students’ feedback, checking in with staff, and responding to our community’s needs. Slowly but surely, students began connecting with teachers and staff, and our school culture transformed. This shift is living proof of the heart and effort poured into our school by a team that came together during challenging times but shined as a family. ?? With the addition of our $20M College and Career Center, we are here to support our community in preparing for college, careers, and beyond. Here’s to continuing the climb. ??

Career Day was amazing! It started with a financial workshop for seniors and a look at work based projects for other grades. Throughout the day, students had the opportunity to attend four different career panels and asked great questions to learn more about how to plan for that career in the future. A special thank you to parents and community members who volunteered to share their knowledge and advice with our students! Taylor Moxon did a great job leading this event.

I had the privilege of witnessing the incredible growth and passion of the LPS Soccer girls during my tenure as Security/Dean of Students. As they embark on their college decisions, I am filled with pride for their journey ahead. CME Security proudly sponsored parkas for the Lady Royals this season, and it was truly an honor to support such a dedicated team. The girls not only showed up but also showcased their talent with style while utilizing the sponsored parkas. Cheers to a great season! Brent Daniels, Ed.D. CME Security Services

Want to have fun while learning about pH balances, acidity and bases? Our chemistry students made salsa and had students and staff try it to determine which was best. Students had a lot of fun and learned a lot from the activity, showing that learning is fun. Great job Royals! Adam White Brent Daniels, Ed.D. Leadership Public Schools

Today we continued our anti-racist PD and had a deeper conversation about race, racism, power, and privilege. Staff shared their experiences around those topics to learn more about each other's experiences and reflect as educators supporting all students. Go Royals! Adam White Brent Daniels, Ed.D.

Every great partnership starts somewhere… Today we met with CSUEB to discuss a LPS Hayward agreement so that seniors will each receive a letter informing them that if they meet CSU admission requirements, they are guaranteed admission and are eligible to visit and preview the Hayward campus. For so many students, this opportunity can be a lifeline for them and their families to know college is possible for them. Thank you Ana M Rangel, M.S., P.P.S and Alvaro Jesus Ibarra for getting this started. Adam White Brent Daniels, Ed.D. Leadership Public Schools

Senior Sunset: A Night to Remember ?????? Watching the sunset, sharing BBQ, and playing hide-and-seek in the very building that holds four years of memories—this night was pure magic! Huge gratitude to Chef Zeigenhorn and Chef Duarte for the delicious food, and to Ms. Marceli, Ms. Ximena, Ms. Emmy, Ms. Stef, and Ms. Sonson for making it all happen! The journey isn’t over yet, but moments like this remind us to cherish every step. ???? #SeniorSunset #WolvesForever #MemoriesInTheMaking #Classof2025 Brent Daniels, Ed.D.Marceli Rocha-Rocha, MSWLeadership Public Schools
