Dear M.J.D. Futures students and families,

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! I am thrilled to welcome all our returning students and extend a special greeting to our new families joining the Marva J. Daniel Futures Preparatory School community. It is an honor to serve as your principal, and I look forward to working together to ensure a successful and rewarding year for every student.

At Futures, we are deeply committed to academic excellence, strong attendance, and creating a safe and nurturing environment where all students can thrive. Each day counts, and regular attendance plays a critical role in your child’s growth and learning. We ask for your partnership in ensuring your child is present and on time each day, ready to learn.

I also hold our students to high academic expectations, providing engaging learning experiences, and the support necessary for all students to reach their full potential. Our dedicated staff is focused on developing not only strong learners, but also confident, respectful, and responsible individuals.

Most importantly, the safety and well-being of our students remain my number one priority. We work hard to maintain a safe and supportive environment where every child feels seen, valued, and respected.

I encourage you to stay connected with your child’s teacher and with our school community throughout the year. Class dojo seems to be the popular choice at the moment, so please make sure the school has current phone numbers.

Thank you for your continued trust and support. Let’s make this school year one of growth, achievement, and joy!

We rise together, no time to waste!

Remember "Just as the Phoenix rises from the ashes, so will we", with Respect, Intergrity, Syngery, Empowerment.
