Principal's Corner
Well what a great start to the school year. I feel very lucky and proud to be the Principal of such an incredible school.
Thank you to all of the families, staff, and PTO who helped or attended the Welcome Back BBQ on September 19th. It was a fabulous night. We served almost 600 Hot Dogs!
I can hardly believe it, but conference week is here. In the past we typically have 95% or more of our families attend conferences, which is an incredible turnout. Parental attendance at conferences is a crucial component of student success. I will be in the front hallway during conferences, so please be sure to stop by and say hello.
Go Cubs,
Todd McCauley, Whitson Principal
