hi
my name is Catherine Cohen and I'm the principal superintendent
of the Eleanor kolitz Hebrew language Academy on
the day-to-day I run the administration
supervising teachers and staff
make sure that the school is running smoothly
and that the days are going well so
the vision of Accola is that Echo will
be the model in educating its students and
academics values Hebrew language and
Israeli cultures
wants to be more than just a traditional public school
so in addition to having strong
academics like most schools try to
have we also try and still values
in our students and we think it's important that
all students learn a second language and then
that second language is Hebrew and along
with the Hebrew language we teach
the culture of Israel which
is the state that Hebrew is spoken in as its
official language hi
my name is Tracy Smith I am part of the
creative team here at a club so one of our main
focus is here as well as Aqua is
to really make sure every student succeeds no matter what
level does Lairon teachers work with them
one-on-one counsel them one-on-one and
if Eva needs to get himself to just
counseling reasons be take them aside have discussions
and try to work with them little by little to help them
grow and mature in these areas
as a parent and teacher I
am always so proud of the kind of students
we have it that well I have the
interfering with the middle schoolers for all three
years and in that time if
we're Square values are embedded in their curriculum
so they develop into so much more
than just a strong student
Middle School at exit is all about
arcademic and behavioral staff are
golden middle school is to nurture shape and promote
students were responsible capable and ready
for success in the world outside of a clan are
teachers most of who have been here for more than five
years for collaboratively
our students receive not only challenging academics
but also all the skills that allow them to be lifelong Learners
students are encouraged to think critically
and question the world as it is presented to them
it's higher level of thinking allows them to be more
informed citizens of society and to make better
decisions for their future
I have the privilege of teaching the same
group of students for multiple
years in a row because I am the history teacher
for the Middle School a huge benefit of
that is that I know my kids and I
my students I know how they learn I know what
ways are better to give
instructions so they understand the material for
me as a teacher I know my kids so
I know how to plan activities that will reach
them all and
turn all the different types of learning styles
our after-school programming
allows students to participate in a wide
range of after-school activities we
are part of the Texas Charter academics
and Athletics League we are free
pedigree sports for a 4th and 8th graders are
young 4th and 5th grade athletes compete
with our middle school teams in sports is a
wonderful opportunity to develop concepts
of goal attainment leadership through hard work
and self-discipline at a very young age

core values that are threaded through the day starting
in kindergarten all the way through 8th grade our
core values include words like support
passion integrity and honesty respect
and acceptance.

important that we educate more than
