SY24-25: Middle School Speech Provider

Who We Are: School in the Square (S2) is a fast-growing charter school currently serving elementary and middle school students, with plans to serve families from Pre-K through High School. S2 engages, educates and empowers its students to respond mindfully and creatively to life's opportunities and challenges. Drawing its name from the concept of the public square or "la placita", S2 is where communities come together to solve problems and celebrate successes. Here, students, families and educators are seen, heard, and inspired. S2 students build the academic foundations, social-emotional intelligence, and the leadership skills necessary to excel in college and professional life. Our community is grounded in principles of justice, equity, diversity and inclusivity (JEDI), enacting a culturally responsive and sustaining lens to our pedagogical practice and consistently examining the ways we can continue to walk firmly in the pursuit of social justice and against injustice of any kind. S2 provides a progressive and rigorous learning community in which students thrive physically, emotionally, and academically through differentiated and personalized education and adults grow through rich and robust professional development. We take seriously our obligation as an anchor institution in our community. We understand that our students' ability to learn is directly impacted by their access to basic needs. Through our Family Support Program, we support over 200 families every month with bimonthly food pantries and other essential services, including internet hotspots and rent relief. We believe a culture of care leads to a culture of achievement. Our program is dedicated to providing each student with the tools and support to become lifelong learners.That includesembracing that 89% of S2 families are Hispanic or Latin. Consequently, we launched Dos Amigos, an immersive Dual Language K-5 learning model in 2020, building students' confidence in their identity and their ability to navigate and celebrate our richly diverse world. S2, located in the heart of Inwood, provides our young learners with the tools that stimulate their minds, helping them outperform students in single language programs. Every member of the S2 team plays a critical role in ensuring our students have the skills and confidence to pursue the paths they choose.
