FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL & BOARD CHAIR

Dear Friends of The Fletcher School, The Fletcher School is stepping confidently into the future with a new strategic plan that celebrates our strengths and sets a clear course for what comes next—and we are excited to share that vision in these pages. For more than forty years, Fletcher has transformed the lives of students with learning differences, a legacy reflected in the stories you will find throughout this issue. Building on that legacy, our vision calls us to redefine what is possible in education and to rewrite the national playbook for learning differences (LD) education. Grounded in our mission and history, and guided by our community’s vision for the future, this plan focuses our energy around four priorities: • • • •

Transforming the Student Experience Championing Enrollment & Community Investing in People & Culture Securing Financial Resilience & Sustainability

Together, these priorities form a roadmap that is ambitious yet achievable, elevating what Fletcher does best while positioning us for a thriving future. Each priority connects to the others, creating momentum toward our vision: a true K–12 destination for families seeking a research-based approach that empowers students to become confident, self-advocating changemakers— in college, career, and life. As you will see throughout this issue, we do not begin this new strategic plan from zero. We begin from a place of extraordinary strength. Fletcher will remain a place where every student belongs, grows, and succeeds. With clarity, purpose, and determination, we are shaping a future that is bright, resilient, and distinctly Fletcher. With gratitude, excitement, and appreciation for this community,

Tara Terry, PhD Head of School

ST R AT E G I C P R I O R I TY 1 : TRANSFORMING THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE

Igniting Potential Through Innovation and Challenge

At The Fletcher School, individualized learning meets true academic challenge, shaping a dynamic K-12 journey that grows with each child. We are elevating our proven multisensory program with fresh opportunities, expanded rigor, and innovative courses that prepare every student for college and beyond. Our “small by design” advantage means every child benefits from deeply personalized instruction, world-class teaching methods, and a progressively challenging curriculum. The result? Bright students who feel supported, challenged, and fully ready to thrive. This is more than strengthening a program. With innovation at our core and outcomes as our measure, we will transform the student experience and redefine what is possible for learners who learn differently. 6

FLETCHER | Summer 2026

To transform our vision into reality, we will: • Elevate our dynamic, K-12 program to outpace national norms. • Expand challenging courses and electives. • Emphasize executive function, self-advocacy, and independence at every level. • Innovate based on student data and research. • Showcase students’ success in college.

ST R AT E G I C P R I O R I TY 2 : CHAMPIONING ENROLLMENT & COMMUNITY

Fletcher: A Destination. Not a Detour. The Fletcher School is not a stop along the way. It’s the destination. Our goal is to ensure families see the full K–12 journey at Fletcher as the most powerful path for their child’s growth, confidence, and success. We are strengthening retention, expanding student life, and deepening family connections. At the same time, we are boldly sharing Fletcher’s story with the broader community, positioning our school as the clear choice for bright students with learning differences. The result? Steady enrollment, strong retention, and a vibrant community where every student feels proud to be “Fletcher by choice.”

To make Fletcher the destination of choice, we will: • Clearly define Fletcher as a fulljourney K-12 destination. • Build lifelong Fletcher pride to strengthen retention. • Enrich student experiences with traditions, activities, and leadership. • Highlight alumni success. • Deepen ties with community partners.

True to Our Mission. Bold in Our Vision. The Fletcher School’s strategic vision is a commitment. Fletcher will grow stronger while staying true to what makes us exceptional. Across all four priorities, we are investing in our students, our people, our community, and our future.

OUR STRATEGIC NOs

By saying no to distractions, we say yes to focus, excellence, and long-term impact. This discipline ensures that every choice strengthens Fletcher’s identity: a small-by-design, mission-driven community where bright students with learning differences thrive.

n Compete with other schools on capital projects that distract from our purpose.

Together, we are defining a future that is innovative, enduring, and distinctly Fletcher.

FLETCHER | Summer 2026

Just as important as what we will do is what we will not do: n Dilute our K-12 LD mission or admit students outside our profile.

n Take on unsustainable debt or undermine reserves. n Allow siloed thinking or drift from our mission for growth’s sake.

Our Mission The Fletcher School empowers students with learning differences to achieve bright futures by offering an individualized, multisensory, college preparatory curriculum that prepares them to reach their full potential. Through The Rankin Institute, The Fletcher School increases understanding and improves programs relating to learning disabilities by providing training, information, and services to parents, teachers, and other professionals in the community.

CORE VALUES The Fletcher School empowers each community member to reach their full potential by adhering to these core values: • I take personal responsibility for my actions and intentions. • I commit to learn and grow. • I accept myself and other community members.

Executive Skills

Bringing Brain Science into the Classroom Developing confident learners through the science of executive functioning

FLETCHER | Summer 2026

WHAT ARE EXECUTIVE SKILLS? Executive skills, or executive functioning skills, are brain-based cognitive processes that help us regulate our behavior, make decisions, and achieve our goals. They allow us to plan, organize, prioritize, start tasks, and see them through to completion.

HOW EXECUTIVE SKILLS DEVELOP: USE IT OR LOSE IT Ginna Clute, Middle and Upper Schools Division Head

When Ginna Clute talks about her work at The Fletcher School, where she leads the Middle and Upper School divisions, she smiles and says it’s her “dream job.” That’s because Fletcher embodies the purpose that has guided her career—helping students with learning differences uncover their strengths and reach their fullest potential. For more than thirty years, Ginna’s work has reflected that dedication. After earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a Master’s in Education specializing in Learning Disabilities from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, she taught in both public and private schools, worked as a pediatric cognitive therapist for children with brain injuries, and spent more than twenty years shaping independent school programs to better serve neurodiverse learners.

Research in neuroscience shows that the brain is constantly evolving, building new pathways as we learn and experience the world. There are even certain periods when it’s especially active and ready for growth: • Five months into pregnancy: The brain holds about one hundred billion neurons, preparing for complex thinking and learning ahead. • Early childhood: Neuron counts exceed adult levels, peaking before age five and are then refined through “pruning”—strengthening connections that are used and trimming those that aren’t. In short, use it or lose it. • Ages nine to twelve or thirteen: Additional growth spurts occur as the brain continues to build and refine connections. • Adolescence: The frontal lobe, the center of executive functioning, undergoes its most dramatic development, offering a prime window for reinforcing and teaching essential skills.

Now, through the executive skills curriculum she designed at Fletcher, students learn to build confidence, independence, and effective strategies that empower them to thrive—not only in school, but in life. FLETCHER | Summer 2026

LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD FOR NEURODIVERSE LEARNERS

At The Fletcher School, developing strong executive skills, as defined by Peg Dawson and Richard Guare in their Smart but Scattered book series, is a core part of our curriculum. “We prioritize helping K–12 students build these essential skills,” says Ginna. “By identifying each student’s strengths and areas for growth, we can equip them with strategies to become independent, lifelong learners.” While each student develops executive skills at their own pace, Ginna explains that the process generally follows a sequence. “The first skill to emerge is typically response inhibition—the ability to pause and think before acting—while metacognition, or thinking about our own thinking, tends to be the last to develop.” “Executive skills don’t develop automatically, which is why we teach them intentionally at Fletcher,” Ginna explains. “These skills bridge the gap between potential and performance and help level the playing field for students with diverse learning profiles.”

FLETCHER | Summer 2026

One effective routine is setting aside time each week to review and reinforce learning. Parents can encourage their student to try one of these activities: • If there’s no homework, summarize what was learned in one or two sentences. • Explain the day’s lesson to a parent, sibling, friend, or even a pet! • Draw or sketch the main idea of something learned that day.

FACULTY EXPERTISE IN ACTION EVERY DAY At Fletcher, faculty have embraced the executive skills curriculum not just as classroom practice, but as a shared professional journey. “Our teachers have engaged deeply with the work,” Ginna explains. “We’ve led faculty book discussions, explored case studies, and used faculty meetings for ongoing learning and alignment.” These conversations have fostered a shared language for how executive functioning supports student growth. “Every part of our curriculum connects back to these skills,” Ginna continues. “Teachers design explicit lessons for each skill, embed practice into daily routines, and develop assessment tools that help track progress over time.” The result is a consistent, school‑wide approach—from Lower School through Upper School—that ensures students experience executive skills instruction in meaningful ways every day.

STUDENT IMPACT AND HOW PARENTS CAN HELP

• Make sticky notes of key ideas and post them in a study space. • Rework a few math problems from last night’s homework to check understanding. • Create a Quizlet or paper flashcards for vocabulary words. • Set study breaks that involve movement. • Write a few practice test questions and quiz a family member. • Work ahead on a long-term project or revisit old tests to review missed concepts. • Create a backup plan with a parent’s help. • Organize notebooks, binders, or backpacks to start the next day prepared. • Backwards plan a family trip. • For the whole family: build a family calendar that keeps everyone’s schedule in one place. Take a few minutes each Sunday for a family meeting to organize the week ahead.

“When we teach executive skills explicitly, the impact is powerful,” Ginna says. “Students become better problem solvers, more adaptable, and more capable of managing long-term projects. They show stronger teamwork, decision-making, and self-awareness. By the time they reach college, they’re organized, proactive, and ready to handle new challenges.” Ginna explains that developing executive skills is a gradual process—and students need support along the way. “Children can’t fully use these skills independently yet,” she says. “They need scaffolding, especially at home, to help new strategies stick.” FLETCHER | Summer 2026

FALCONS

LEADING THE WAY NURTURING STUDENT VOICES, CONFIDENCE, AND LEADERSHIP FROM LOWER SCHOOL THROUGH GRADUATION

At The Fletcher School, students don’t just join clubs and organizations—they lead them. From fifth-grade service leaders greeting prospective families, to middle

school students running news broadcasts, and upper school students planning pep

rallies, service projects, and dances, these activities give students real opportunities to use their voices, empathy, and initiative. Across grades, they build confidence, community, and a shared sense of pride in being Falcons.

FLETCHER | Summer 2026

FIFTH GRADE SERVICE LEADERS

FINDING THEIR VOICES EARLY Fletcher’s Fifth Grade Service Leaders are selected by their teachers for qualities such as responsibility, hard work, and respect for others. It quickly becomes a point of pride to be chosen. “I often get questions from the students like, ‘When’s the new group going to be picked?’ or ‘How much longer until it’s announced?’” says Lower School Counselor Kathleen Hutson. Twice a month, the service leaders meet with her to develop personal talking points they share with prospective families at monthly Open Houses. “As service leaders, they also practice public speaking, which is a big fear for many of our students,” Hutson says. “For them to be able to speak about themselves in front of a group of strangers is a big accomplishment.”

My favorite part about being a Fifth Grade Service Leader is that I get to do public speaking. I was afraid at first, but getting to conquer that challenge was amazing. I also have fun with my friends. — Grace Godwin fifth grader

BOOSTER CLUB

I joined Booster Club because I saw a need for more student participation in supporting our athletics. Serving as the club’s head has taught me to grow as a leader and share why sports are such an important part of Fletcher. I’ve also enjoyed planning pep rallies that bring the entire school together to celebrate our athletes. – Isabella Topalian eleventh grader

FLETCHER | Summer 2026

BUILDING SCHOOL SPIRIT TOGETHER Now in its third year, Fletcher’s Booster Club is a student-led organization dedicated to supporting Falcon student-athletes. Eighth through twelfth grade students run the club and build spirit with activities like creating door banners for coaches, designing locker posters for athletes, planning pep rallies, organizing Fan Fests, and hyping up the crowd with Fletch, our mascot. “Booster is for anyone who wants to build community,” says Upper School American Sign Language and Spanish Teacher Nicole McConnell. “A lot of members aren’t student-athletes but love supporting their peers. They’ve created interest across the entire school— and that only works when the kids are leading.”

FALCON NEWS NETWORK

STUDENTS’ VOICES ON SCREEN For more than a decade, Falcon News Network (FNN), Fletcher’s student-led weekly news program, has been a much-loved tradition on campus. Students in grades 6–12 work together to plan each broadcast, choosing topics that range from upcoming events and silly day celebrations to student announcements, jokes, and a question of the day or week. “It’s really a group effort,” says Heather Ramsey, Director of Educational Technology. “Some students prefer to stay offscreen, focusing on setting up shots, filming, and managing audio. The students who are involved really grow to feel a lot of pride about our school and like being seen and known.”

I just love going around school for interviews without the teachers. It makes me feel independent. Watching older students on FNN when I was younger inspired me and made me want to join FNN too. – Anna Kaplan seventh grader

FLETCHER | Summer 2026

STUDENT LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE

LEADING THROUGH EXAMPLE

When Fletcher’s Student Leadership Initiative (SLI) first began, its goal was simple—invite current students to share their experiences at Open Houses. Over time, it has grown into a cornerstone of student leadership, mentorship, and connection. Each year, rising ninth through twelfth graders are selected through an intensive application and training process to serve as school ambassadors. They welcome families at events, speak about their Fletcher journeys, and mentor new members. “SLI students give up break times and even train on days off. It’s a real commitment,” says Jennifer Middlemas, Director of Enrollment Management. “They’ve elevated our Open Houses. Visiting families, and even current ones, are very interested in what they have to say and leave feeling hopeful after talking with them.”

“I joined the Student Leadership Initiative in its first year and was eager to help with Open Houses. Little did I know it would transform my leadership skills, shaping me into a stronger leader, listener, and learner. I’ve enjoyed sharing what makes Fletcher such an exceptional school from a student’s perspective. – Davis Belcher twelfth grader

FLETCHER | Summer 2026

STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION

STUDENTS SHAPING SCHOOL LIFE

SGA, Fletcher’s Student Government Association, gives upper school students a formal voice in school life. Each spring, upper school students elect a President, Vice President, and Secretary, and the officers work together to build a dynamic year of activities. “This year’s officers met over the summer and put together a year-long plan that would involve the entire school,” says Upper School English and Composition Teacher Sarah Vrabel. They now run roughly three events per month, from kickball and dodgeball for Middle and Upper School, to a falcon egg hunt for Lower School, and planning the homecoming dance theme and décor. “These are their ideas, passions, and excitement,” Vrabel says. “Their planning and organization are a huge part of the success of student government.”

I ran for SGA because I saw an opportunity to create change in our school. We were at a pivotal point, with an administration that truly hears students’ needs. I knew that by becoming president, I could help foster a new spirit, pride, and tradition at Fletcher that would last long after I’m gone. – Sabastian Huff eleventh grader

FLETCHER | Summer 2026

BETA CLUB AND JUNIOR BETA CLUB

LEADERSHIP THROUGH SERVICE I’ve loved being part of Beta Club and seeing the difference we’re making in the community. Serving as Beta Club president has improved my leadership skills, especially communication, decision-making, and responsibility, making it easier to give back in meaningful ways. – Evelyn McLoughlin eleventh grader

FLETCHER | Summer 2026

Beta Club (grades 9–12) and Junior Beta Club (grade 8) are part of a national organization, and students are invited to be inducted based on their GPA. At Fletcher, these clubs follow National Beta’s four pillars—achievement, character, leadership, and service—but the experience goes far beyond academics. Students develop leadership by serving others through meaningful projects. Annual efforts include a Thanksgiving food drive, a blood drive, and Socktober, a monthlong collection of socks for unhoused people in our community. Students have also gathered much-needed items for communities in western North Carolina following Hurricane Helene and delivered toys to a local hospital. “These are pivotal programs that bring the Fletcher community together in support of our larger community,” says Dean of Student Affairs Natalie Mays. “Everyone from a veteran faculty member to a young kindergartener is involved.”

Their insights bring the outcomes data to life—showing how skills like self‑advocacy, organization, and communication carry through to success after high school.

Learning how to communicate with professors, peers, and mentors—through good questions, constructive feedback, and problem‑solving—builds trust and opens doors you wouldn’t anticipate.” — Mimi Knox ’15 I make sure to be on campus when I need to be productive, meet up with friends for study time, and use tools to manage my schedule. Knowing people in class and planning ahead make the long days easier.

— Aiden Terrick ’23

One of the best ways I was prepared was feeling very comfortable with my accommodations. Because accommodations are part of our community at Fletcher, I felt confident using them and advocating for myself. — Catalina O’Rourke ’25 Fletcher taught me to advocate for myself from our small, tight‑knit community to the real world. Staying organized and surrounding myself with the right people has helped me enjoy my college experience. — Dylan Pollack ’23
