Dr. Notes

We are fast approaching the finish line for the
2008/09 school year however, we still have great
work to do on behalf of students.  I am excited
about the upcoming assessment windows at each
school!  This will give our students the
opportunity to demonstrate what they know and are
able to do with the content that has been so well
presented to them this school year.  May also
marks a time for us to let our staff know how
much they are truly appreciated!  Be looking for
a few surprise treats and activities!!  I hear a
group known as The Rockin Rockets will be in
town soon to perform at each school!!!  Keep
giving us your best effort daily.
