Rattan Report
Welcome back to the 2016-2017 school year!
A Note from the Principal
One of the things I love about education is that each year is a fresh start, different from the previous year. I enjoy and embrace the change because, quite frankly, that's the way things are in education! And if you've happened to take a look around our wonderful town of Anna, a few changes have been taking place as well. We are experiencing explosive growth, and we are receiving new students daily. Bring on elementary school #3!
To meet the meet the demands of our growing student population, and in our efforts to continuously improve how we support our students, a few changes have been made to our daily routines/procedures.
New School Hours
Our new school hours are 7:55am - 3:10pm. Our doors will still open at 7:15am to receive students. South carpool drop-off (cafeteria side) begins at 7:15am, and front carpool drop-off begins at 7:20am after buses have left.
Morning Arrival
We have tweaked our morning arrival routine to accommodate our larger student population. Students will now enter the building through either the front doors or the side door by the cafeteria, and then disperse to their grade level hallways (breakfast eaters will still go to the cafeteria first). Students will no longer enter through the gym.
For more information regarding arrival/dismissal procedures, schedules, etc., visit our campus information page.
Speaking of new changes, we have a new assistant principal, Julie Shannon! Ms. Shannon has 15 years of experience in education, and most recently worked as an instructional specialist where she helped students grow in math and reading, with a specific focus on helping student with dyslexia. We are excited to have her join the Rattan family and know she will do a fabulous job working with our students.
Our theme for this year is strive for excellence - go for the gold! We want our students (and ourselves) to reach beyond any perceived limitations and achieve great things. We also want them looking at more than just the end result; we want them to look at the journey, to see the change and growth from where they were before to where they are now. Though they may not get that gold medal, the process of striving for excellence will help unlock their potential and push them be their best!
We're looking forward to the first day!
Mr. Frazier
