Principal Assistant Principal
Welcome to Roscoe R. Nix Elementary School. We are looking forward to working with you and your children. My name is Annette M. Ffolkes and I have been serving as the principal of Roscoe R. Nix Elementary School since we opened in August 2006. Our Assistant Principal is Mrs. Emily Madan.
Roscoe R. Nix Elementary School, along with Arcola Elementary School, participates in the Innovative School Year or ISY. The innovative school calendar initiative extends the school year from 180 days to 210 days to create additional learning time for students so they can reach their full potential and achieve at the highest levels. Research identifies increased/expanded learning time as an equity strategy that benefits all children, especially children who are traditionally served at Title I schools. We believe this innovative calendar initiative is exactly what our students need to ensure they have the resources they need to succeed.
Our teachers are working hard to ensure that your children receive an effective instructional program, with daily opportunities for reading, writing, mathematics and student discourse. Our Superintendent, Dr. Monifa McKnight, has also charged each school to prepare students for College, Career and Community Readiness. We continue to do this by focusing on the Academic Milestones, Competencies and providing our students with unique learning experiences.
"We should be inspiring children to discover their passions and realize their potential all year long."
- Evans & Boulay, June 2017
