I would like to extend a warm welcome to all new teachers and veteran
teachers as we begin the process of preparing for the 2017-2018 school
year. It once again promises to be an exciting school year as we continue
to move forward as a "learning organization" that takes a tremendous
amount of pride in offering our students and community opportunities to grow
together.
We will start off the school year with a new teacher orientation on August
15th. I look forward to the conversation that we will have on this
day. Hopefully, this will help alleviate some of the anxiety that you may
be feeling coming into your new position.
All teacher in-service will follow on August 16th and 17th. As is the
case every year, we will once again take time to cover our comprehensive needs
assessment and some annual topics that must be reviewed. Once this is completed, many of you will have
scheduled time to meet with the folks from Houghton Mifflin to review through
the new ELA curriculum.
Please take time to check this post out several times over the next few
weeks. I am certain the schedule will
change as we get closer to our start date.
I should also mention that we will have time allotted in the schedule for
building principal meetings and classroom prepping.
We look forward to seeing all of you in the very near future.
Sincerely,
Tim L. Frederick
