Dear ReStart Academy Team,
Welcome to school year 2025–2026, our 19th school year! As we begin another year, we’re honored to work alongside you, our extraordinary team, to provide the best possible education for some of our city’s most vulnerable students.
Your commitment to excellence, growth, flexibility, and creativity has always been the foundation of our success. Last year was filled with triumphs, highlighted in the end-of-year program highlights and the graduation collage.
This year, we will continue to find and provide new and innovative ways to support our students. We’ll be focusing on social-emotional wellness, academic interventions, and college and career readiness for our middle school, high school, and high school equivalency students.
The assistant principals and I look forward to supporting each of you throughout the year. We’ll continue our frequent coaching sessions and professional development opportunities focused on our program goals. We strongly encourage all of you to be active participants in these opportunities, as we believe these resources are crucial for your professional growth, that will ultimately enhance our entire school community.
On behalf of the ReStart Administration, thank you in advance for your hard work and dedication. We can’t wait to visit your classrooms very soon to see the incredible relationships you’re building with our students. We wish you all a wonderful and successful school year!
Sincerely,
Joan M. Indart-Etienne
Principal
