Dear Parents/Guardians,

 

       The 2008-2009 school year has come to an end.  Time really moves quickly.  I want to thank all parents for entrusting with us your most precious possession for the past 10 months.  Good luck to the parents of our graduates.   Please continue to watch over our future doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers, CEOs, etc.

       We have many activities in June so please keep this letter handy.  For the parents of the 6th and 7th graders I want to meet with you so that we can discuss the beginning of the high school application process, our summer project and the academic expectations for the 2009- 2010 school year.  I want to meet with all parents, so therefore I will hold two meetings-on Tuesday, June 16th @ 10:00 AM and /or @ 7:15 PM in the auditorium.  We will have light refreshments.
