Welcome Back

Hello everyone,

 

It’s hard to believe that we are one week away from the start of the school year.  We hope everyone has enjoyed the last several weeks, and have been able to relax while achieving everything you had planned.  We’ve been busy at the school preparing for the beginning of the new school year. 

 

There have been several additions to our staff for the coming year.  Some are coming from other buildings and others are coming from outside of our district. 

 

Please welcome:

Yvette Panasowich     Supervisor

Laura North                Secretary

Debra Goldberg-         Technology

Pricilla Taylor-             Enrichment

Melissa Clark              Music

Lara Darpino-              Art

 

Many of you have already begun preparing for September by participating in PBSIS and Talent 21 workshops.  As we discussed at the end of the year, we will be continuing with these concepts throughout the year by having the workshops and trainings throughout the year to ensure success for you, the program, and the students.  Please let us know if there is anything we can do to assist with these initiatives. 

 

The maintenance staff is almost finished installing the Smart Boards and the custodial staff is currently putting the final touches on the building and it looks great!  Everyone is working diligently to ensure everything is finished and ready for you and the students.

 

As we did last year, Mindy and I would like to review the grading policy you will be using with your classes.  We will be reviewing them and getting them back to you as quickly as possible.  Please forward a copy either electronically or on paper to Laura no later than Friday, September 3.  This will allow us to review your policy and get it back to you before the first full day of school. 

 

Your class lists and schedule are available in your grade book through Power Teacher.  Although we will be explaining the schedule in depth on Wednesday, please go to my Posterous site at http://mrzuckerman.posterous.com/ to view a Jing I created explaining the schedule rotation.  Please note there are two Jings on the site, the first is for staff and the second is for students and parents.  By Monday we will be sending you an overview of the September 1 and the schedules for the 2^nd and 3^rd.     

 

We are looking forward to a great year and seeing you on September 1^st.  As always, please let us know if you have any questions. 

                                   

Respectfully yours,
