Parents,
The countdown to the beginning of another school year is measured in days, not weeks or months.
I am excited about what is lining up to be a great opening to a new year full of promising possibilities from our faculty, staff and students. I believe you will be please with the additions to our staff and how they will enhance the atmosphere around campus. We have worked hard over the last few months to make the upcoming year the best one yet.
Our annual Open House will be Tuesday, August 4, from 5:00-7:00. This year, we will do things a little differently and I know you do not want to miss out. We are asking parents to meet the teachers any time between 5:00 and 6:15. At 6:20, we will have a school-wide parent meeting in the gym. We have Jeremy Nicholas, CEO of AIMS-SGO coming to speak to all parents about an exciting scholarship opportunity that could have dramatic financial benefits to our families and school. President Trump’s new Education Freedom Tax Credits legislation will be a gamechanger for us all and I want you to have the best information possible so that you can take advantage of this great opportunity. Please plan to be in the gym by 6:20.
School will start Wednesday, August 5. Classes start at 8:00, so make sure you have your children here in plenty of time to get to class. We will have teachers scattered across the campus to help direct new students to their classes. For our youngest students, feel free to walk them to class for the first few days as they get adjusted to new surroundings and learn to navigate the school by themselves with our help.
Meet the Saints will be Thursday, August 6, at 6:00 in the gym. This is always a fun activity to introduce our fall sports teams and cheerleaders. We will then move into our annual membership meeting in the cafeteria.This summer has been busy. Students have been all around campus since the beginning of June, and now we are closing in on a great new year. As always, my door is open to you for any way that I can serve you through the school.
Go Saints!
Jerel Wade
