Open House

It was great to see new student faces and parents at the Open House last night. I am excited for the beginning of a new school year and hope you are too. I have made some changes to our daily schedule. The biggest change is that I will teach social studies and science for the entire school year, rather than one semester. With the new GLCEs (Grade Level Content Expectations) there is so much for students to learn that I feel they need more time to really dig in and understand the concepts. Please do call, send an email, or stop in if you have questions about these changes. Looking forward to Tuesday. Have a great weekend.--Mrs. Wood
