Ms. Ana Rodriguez-Oronoz – Principal

Dear Allapattah families and community,
Welcome to a new school year! I’m proud to lead a dedicated team of educators committed to ensuring every student thrives academically, socially, and emotionally.
This year, we are focusing on three key priorities that will help us grow stronger together:
  1. Supporting Students With Disabilities (SWD): We’re implementing targeted reading and math interventions, inclusive teaching practices, and progress monitoring to ensure all students have access to high-quality instruction and the support they need to succeed.
  2. Improving Attendance: Every schoolday counts. We are working closely with families to reduce chronic absenteeism and ensure students are present, engaged, and ready to learn. Our attendance team is here to help remove barriers and celebrate progress.
  3. Expanding Acceleration Opportunities: We believe in challenging our students and preparing them for the future.
Together, with your partnership, we can make this a year of growth, achievement, and joy for every student. Thank you for your continued support and trust!
Warm regards,
Ana S. Rodriguez-Oronoz
Principal
