Principal's Point of View
I hope that like me maybe you found some time to enjoy football and rest this weekend.
This week we want to invite your students to wear red, white, and blue in honor of 9/11 tomorrow. In addition, tomorrow; Monday 9/11; parents please consider joining us for our monthly SAC school advisory committee meeting. This is the place where you have an opportunity to share your voice, opinions, and ideas to help us guide our school. Our meeting is at 5:30 in the media center.
Tuesday is huuuge. Open house, where you meet your student's teachers begins at 6 pm, but please consider arriving early at 5 pm in the media center to learn about Title 1 grants that help our students every day.
I want to continue to share our expectations for students, as we strive to be better than good, to be greater:
Be goal centered
Always be positive and do something your family will be proud of
Take ownership by completing assignments, following rules like dress code, removing head coverings, and serving consequences
Be On-Time - metal detectors are down to less than a minute wait, and classes have 7 minutes between them… be on time
Lastly - be respectful and make connections
Parents, please check your student's grades and attendance in SIS as this is the progress report period. Now is the time to make sure your student is on track, or contact their teachers.
Looking forward to a great week, have a good evening, and Go Gators!
