Welcome to all and we look forward to a great year!

Congratulations to our new Science teacher, Mr. Bryan Bielicki, for scoring in the top 15% on his PRAXIS test!  Woo hoo! Great accomplishment, Bryan!

Parent-Teacher conferences will be held Monday and Tuesday nights from 4:00-7:00 pm.  Teachers will be  set up in the gym in alphabetical order. Unlike elementary schools, parents do not need to make an appointment with each teacher. Please just come by either Monday or Tuesday night (or both nights) and meet with all your student’s teachers! Please arrive before 6:30 so our teachers can leave by 7:00 pm.  We look forward to seeing you there!

Patrons,

This is a reminder concerning your School Community Council elections, which will take place in September.

School Community Councils are elected parent/guardian and employee representatives who work together with the Principal to increase student achievement.  By law, the Council is responsible to review school data and develop plans for school improvement.  Councils also allocate the LAND Trust funds to assist the school in reaching achievement goals.

School Community Councils meet once every month, for a term of two years. To be eligible, a parent must have a student enrolled in the school for at least one of the years and may not be a licensed employee at the school.  We invite you to become involved in your school’s Community Council by declaring your candidacy.  If you are interested in running for your School Community Council, please fill out the  attached Declaration of Candidacy form and return it to your school’s Principal.

Schools will be holding their elections on-line September 18 – 20, 2017.

Thank you, and we hope you have a wonderful school year.
