The start of the school year is upon us

and it is a very exciting time. I would liketo welcome everyone back and wish all agreat year. Each year our school district

sets high standards for both students

and staff. This school year is no differ-

ent. Our students will come back to a

school they can be proud of, thanks to

the transportation, technology, mainte-

nance, and summer custodial staff who

have worked diligently to make sure our

school facilities are attractive and in greatshape. They should be commended for ajob well done.

As the new school year begins, both

students and parents share the anticipa-

tion of achievement and success. Teachershave spent their summer expanding and

improving their class curriculum. This isa wonderful time of year when students,

parents, staff, and our community cometogether to start the school year off on

the right foot.

There have been many productive

changes that took place over the summerwhich I feel will add to the educational

achievement of our students. The high

school computer lab has been upgraded

with 60 new computers, which will be

available for teachers and students this

year. The previous lab only served 20 to

25 students at one time. The computer labroom has also received improvements tothe electrical system, window treatments,tables and chairs.

This upgrade will allow two class-

rooms to utilize the lab at one time, dou-bling the amount of access for students.

The lab will also contain a mobile iPad

lab. This mobile lab will have 30 iPads

which may be moved from class to classand used as needed by teachers and stu-

dents. We are very excited about the newopportunities and growth this will add to

the high school.This school year we have partnered
