Letter from the Principal
Dear
parents, guardians, and students,
Greetings! I hope you are enjoying the summer and all the wonderful
sunshine we are having. We are busy here getting ready for our September
4th start of school. The building
is undergoing several changes and modifications in various areas.
I look forward to sharing all of those with you when you return.
Our building is also being cleaned, waxed, and polished by Mr. Gathen’s
hard working staff. It will be clean and shiny upon your return. New 7th
graders, we expect to see you August 27th, from 1:00-2:30, for your
homeroom and locker assignments, as well as our annual ice cream social.
We hope it will not be so hot that it melts! I want to
also mention your summer reading assignment. Start working on it now, so
you don’t have to do it at the last minute. You can access your
individual grade level assignment
here. Enjoy your
summer!
See you soon,
Ms. Birdsall
