TAYLION HIGH DESERT ACADEMY Issue # 1 1 Taylion High Desert Academy Newsletter Jan/Feb 2014 FINALLY, SCHOOL ON YOUR TERMS, AT YOUR PACE! Taylion Family is Growing 2014 is already off to a great start for Taylion High Desert Academy! Our Taylion family has grown with the addition of three new staff members and already they are proving to be wonderful additions to the school. We would like to welcome Martin Vortruba and Will Niemeyer. We couldn’t be more excited to have both as part of our team! Martin is the Lead Teacher for the new Victorville site, and Will is the Student Support Specialist, where he will be traveling to each of our three sites. We also added Magdalena Garcia to our team! Magdalena is the Administrative Assistant at the new site on Amargosa Road in Victorville. Welcome aboard, Magdalena! Many students struggle with grasping math concepts and now with Will on board Taylion students are going to soar as they explore all the wonderful facets of math they never really understood before. “After speaking with Mr. Niemeyer about his approach to teaching math I feel confident that our two Taylion students are going to achieve more than they have ever before. My wife and I can’t wait for the transformation for our youngest daughter as math has always been her biggest challenge,” said Perry Pack proud Taylion parent. 2014 will be a great year for our Taylion High Desert Academy students and staff. IN THIS ISSUE Jan/Feb 2014 Giving Back to the Community Taylion staff visited the local homeless families who live in “tent city” located in Victorville, CA. Nolan & Philip are proud and honored that they were able to help in even a small way. Page 2 We Celebrate School Choice Week Members of our ASB and staff celebrate School Choice Week! Page 3
