Dr. Sargent presented Superintendent Bulletin Number 2

Dr. Sargent stated that at this point in August the district is working with great energy to

prepare the classrooms and schools for the return of students and staff members. There are

a number of facility projects underway and everything should be completed in time for

Opening Day. These projects include roof replacements at Lake Parsippany School and

Troy Hills School, an auxiliary gymnasium floor replacement at PHS, updated Home Eco-

nomics rooms at CMS and PHS, a new track at PHHS and new bleachers at BMS. This

has required a good deal of coordination among our Buildings and Grounds, Custodial and

Township officials and the district appreciates the work ethic displayed by all this summer.

New Staff Orientation was held this week with 20 elementary staff, 24 middle/high school

staff and 7 pupil services staff. These sessions are run by the Curriculum Office and con-

nect our newest hires with all the information and resources they need to have as successful

school year.

All district staff will return for meetings and classroom preparation on Wednesday and

Thursday next week. School begins for students on Tuesday, September 3.



For your consideration we have 1-49 with Addendum items 50-72 and Read-Ins
