RCSD Expanded Learning

To celebrate the RCSD’s Summer of Discovery, the District is highlighting staff members who support our summer learning programming.

Ms. Jeanne Markman is the summer school principal for the Rochester Early College High School Smart Scholars program at School Without Walls. An Assistant Principal at Dr. Alice Holloway Young School of Excellence, Ms. Markman is overseeing students in grades 9 – 12 who are being provided an innovative educational opportunity that cultivates confident, college immersed, and globally competent scholars.

“It has been my pleasure working with students as they transition from middle to high school”, said Markman. “We are enaging with students working towards a Regents diploma and an associate’s degree from Monroe Community College in this unique partnership.”

Ms. Markman began her career in 2001 as a Special Education teacher at James Monroe Campus. She later served as an Assistant Principal at Monroe, Edison Career and Technology High School, School of the Arts, Joseph C. Wilson Magnet High School, and Virgil I. Grissom School No. 7.

To celebrate the RCSD’s Summer of Discovery, the District is highlighting staff members who support our summer learning programming.

Ms. Anna Madrid is the summer school principal for the Summer Language Academy at Anna Murray-Douglass School No.12. A Community Site Coordinator at Henry Hudson School No. 28, Ms. Madrid is overseeing 60 students in grades 6 – 12 who speak seven different languages and ranging in different levels of English proficiency.

“I have an excellent staff of ENL and bilingual certified teachers from various schools in the District with many years of experience in teaching English as a New Language,” said Madrid. “Students are learning language by studying geology, they participate in hands-on experiments and projects, and they have participated in two field trips connected to our unit of study along with reading and writing.”

A proud graduate of the Rochester City School District, Ms. Madrid started working at John James Audubon School No. 33 as a bilingual teacher in 2008 and has also been a bilingual teacher at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. School No 9.
