Dear prospective students and parents,

Each summer as I reflect on the year just completed and anticipate the year to come, I look forward to an outstanding school year, one that will continue to focus on the success of each and every student. As a Cyber School, we recognize that our task is to prepare our students to achieve the high standards needed to meet the challenges of tomorrow. We believe student learning is our chief priority and each student is a valued individual with unique physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs. As a staff, we often collaborate because it is clear that none of us can educate a student alone. We are part of a system that teaches, communicates, and reinforces the educational activities of our students. This collaboration supports both our students and our staff in the educational process. By harnessing the collective abilities of our staff we can establish a climate of learning, which benefits the whole school and establishes a culture of learning where all parts of our school benefit from the experience.

Often businesses place posters in stores and restaurants that state their beliefs about the customer. We believe the same comments can be applied to the SusQ-Cyber Charter School.
