Lots of Changes: Come to Meet The Teachers Night

As we move into our second day of school some questions have come up about the schedule, the dual tracks, our new math program, and our new writing program.

Meet The Teachers Night is occuring a week earlier than it has in the past in order to present these changes and give you an opportunity to ask questions in a public place for all to hear the answers (as a teacher, I have learned that if one student had a question, 1/2 the class probably had the same question).

Yesterday, almost all teachers were instructed to only go through the parent/student handbook. It came home yesterday and you are all asked to read it and sign the Kavod Contract at the end by next Friday. Today is the true first day of classes for our students and teachers are hard at work orienting the students to their class. I just walked through the building and it is eerily quiet (in contrast to yesterday) as students are in their classes learning.

If you have major concerns that cannot wait until that time, please reach out to the teacher first, then Mrs. Davis, and then to me and we will work to get you the answer.
