“Building the Future Together”


Dear Parents and Students,
Thank you for a wonderful Open House last Thursday evening.  The
PTO did a fabulous job providing us with a dinner, spirit sales, and the
opportunity to sign up to be involved with a variety of activities.  The
SAC solicited for members and several people agreed to join.   The
Chorus performed in the gym and sang so beautifully that no one
could believe they had only been in school for a little over three weeks.
Open House started at 7:00 p.m. to a first class video and then
parents had the opportunity to visit all of their childrens’ classrooms.
Parents were extremely enthusiastic about the teachers, the school
year, and how great the school looks.  I was most impressed by
meeting all of you and seeing how the kids look so much like you; how
happy all of the students seem to be; and by the Leon High School
students who came back to visit and told me how prepared they are
academically and socially  for high school.  Thanks to everyone for a
wonderful evening.
We had our first PTO & SAC meetings last week.  Again, I encourage
all of you to take one hour out of each month and attend one of these
meetings.  This is truly where you find out everything you want to know.
At our SAC meeting we approved our School Improvement Plan for the
year.
Students will be given their Progress Reports on Wednesday,
September 17th.  Parents, the Progress Reports will provide you with
the status of your young person’s academic, behavioral, and
attendance standing.  Please feel free to consult with your student’s
teacher via phone or email.  Parent/teacher conferences can be
scheduled by contacting guidance.
  FAMILY DAY-The governor has proclaimed September 22, 2003 as
Family Day.  Families are urged to spend time together on this day
engaged in entertainment events, athletic activities, social enrichment,
and family dining.  The teachers will facilitate this initiative by not
assigning homework on that date.  Cherish the company of your loved
ones.
Please note: Strings (all stringed instruments) has class every
Tuesday and Thursday after school; Homework Center started
Monday; Football Jamboree is Tuesday evening; Progress Reports go
home Wednesday; Cross Country’s first meet is Thursday;
Volleyball’s first game is Thursday evening; and Family Day, Monday,
September 22 – NO HOMEWORK.
