In the last couple of weeks we had the opportunity to see our kids conclude the first six weeks of school, adjust to junior year expectations, administered the PSAT and supported the high school campus and senior high students when a student on the high school campus passed away. We would like to sincerely thank our counseling staff for being visible, supportive and proactive in serving and meeting the needs of all students.
Make a Difference:
During the past couple of weeks we are reminded that we each have been entrusted with the ultimate responsibility of serving and taking care of your most valuable possession, your children. We take this responsibility serious and take to heart that students will remember how we taught them more than what we taught them. They truly are our legacy and represent our future leaders and citizens. This past weekend I attended a funeral of a close friend and fellow teacher of over 30 years. Former friends, teachers and students attended the services and it became a celebration of how one person can make a difference in the lives of others. It truly is our hope that each student's life will be changed in a positive way through our encounters. I know some of you may think of the exceptions where a student's schedule was changed which caused anxiety, but as a campus we always try to look at the big picture while trying not to lose sight of the individuals who make up the big picture. Thank you for your patience and support as we make some difficult decisions. If we can be of assistance, please don't hesitate to call on upon us.
