The start of the school year is upon us
and it is a very exciting time. I would liketo welcome everyone back and wish all agreat year. Each year our school district
sets high standards for both students
and staff. This school year is no differ-
ent. Our students will come back to a
school they can be proud of, thanks to
the transportation, technology, mainte-
nance, and summer custodial staff who
have worked diligently to make sure our
school facilities are attractive and in greatshape. They should be commended for ajob well done.
As the new school year begins, both
students and parents share the anticipa-
tion of achievement and success. Teachershave spent their summer expanding and
improving their class curriculum. This isa wonderful time of year when students,
parents, staff, and our community cometogether to start the school year off on
the right foot.
There have been many productive
changes that took place over the summerwhich I feel will add to the educational
achievement of our students. The high
school computer lab has been upgraded
with 60 new computers, which will be
available for teachers and students this
year. The previous lab only served 20 to
25 students at one time. The computer labroom has also received improvements tothe electrical system, window treatments,tables and chairs.
This upgrade will allow two class-
rooms to utilize the lab at one time, dou-bling the amount of access for students.
The lab will also contain a mobile iPad
lab. This mobile lab will have 30 iPads
which may be moved from class to classand used as needed by teachers and stu-
dents. We are very excited about the newopportunities and growth this will add to
the high school.This school year we have partnered
