Today was a good day overall! We welcomed over 120 new students and we are so excited about the 2011-2012 school year. The morning was pretty smooth with just a couple of late buses but I feel certain that the rest of the week will improve. Students began their day in Homeroom and most received their schedules. Remaining schedules will be given tomorrow. Students also received paperwork to go home for parent completion. Please complete and return the paperwork with your child tomorrow. We appreciate your promptness!
We had our Grade-Level Assembly for 8th graders after homeroom. We look forward to adding a Student Leadership Team this year and believe that our 8th graders are ready to step up to the plate! We certainly have many bright and talented students in this group so I'm sure establishing leaders will not be difficult.
Lunch and the remainder of the school day progressed nicely. Then, it happened. At 3:00pm the bottom fell out and we experienced quite a storm. I apologize for the bus delays and any confusion that the weather and late buses may have caused. Overall today was truly a good day...Tomorrow will be even better! Thank you so much for your support and patience as we work through the challenges of this first week. We appreciate you!!
