00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.500
I

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:10.000
believe spec is

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.500
1 of the most supportive schools in the South Bronx and

00:00:12.500 --> 00:00:15.000
maybe in New York City we create

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.500
small environments for students to succeed we

00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:20.000
make sure that we provide tools and resources

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.500
to both students and families to really set them

00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:25.000
up for success in speca and Beyond speca we

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.500
offer our students the opportunity

00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:30.000
to take 3 High School level regions by the time they're

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.500
in eighth grade and the goal of that is to make sure that

00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:35.000
they are already on an advanced track by the time

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.500
they get to high school the spec is a school that's open

00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:40.000
to all students we really make speca

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.500
a place where uh all

00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:45.000
students are supported students get a chance to

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.500
study what they're interested in studying every student

00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:50.000
is a part of an Advisory Group where they get a chance to talk

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.500
in small groups and uh we can really check

00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:55.000
in with students and get to know how they're doing on

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.500
a daily basis
