Colt Corner
Celebrating 40 Years of Excellence
August 20, 2016
Dear Colt Community,
The first day of school is almost here! This past week our teachers and staff have worked diligently to get ready for the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year. It was great to see so many Colts on Thursday and Friday of this week at schedule pick up. We all enjoyed seeing the many returning and new smiling faces on campus this week.
As in anything in life, positive relationships are vital for a successful school year. Our staff is ready to form relationships with their students, but also parents. If you have a question, concern, or need clarification, please don't hesitate to contact the teacher or staff member in which it pertains to.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend. We look forward to a great first day, and week of school!
Regards,
David Arencibia, Ed.D.
