PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Horizon Science Academy Toledo – Home of the Jaguars
The HSAT school community and its stakeholders work collaboratively to
provide a multitude of educational experiences and opportunities that support
the school’s efforts to accomplish our mission and vision. These ambitious
goals are ingrained into everything we do at HSAT, from the instruction taking
place in our classrooms, to the weekly team meetings, the multitude of extra-
curricular activities and student mentorship programs, the organized parent
group, the family and community events we organize and host, and the
community partnerships we continue to foster. All of the valued team members
at HSAT understand that only in working together will we succeed in achieving
the goals laid out in our mission and vision statements. In Jaguar Country,
everything we do revolves around our four core values:
Responsible Behavior
Outstanding Attitude
Achieve Greatness
Respect Everyone
Once the school year begins, our students come to learn very quickly what
it means to ROAR academically and behaviorally as a student of HSAT due
to our PBIS system. Due to the success of this system, we experienced
significant decreases in the number of disciplinary incidents and out-of-school
suspensions during the 2019-2020 school year. We ended the 2018-2019
school year with a total of 1673 documented disciplinary incidents and 321 out-
of-school suspensions, issued to 110 or 21% of our K-12 student population.
After 27 weeks, or 3 academic quarters of full implementation (no 4th quarter
due to COVID-19), we ended the 2019-2020 school year with a total of 665
documented disciplinary incidents and 52 out-of-school suspensions, issued
to 25 or 5% of our K-12 student population. Given that we saw impressive
results at almost every grade level, it is fair to say that our Jaguar team definitely
ROAR-ed loudly and proudly throughout the school year!
Yours in Education,
Rachel Snyder
