Notes from the Principal
Hello, COES families!
I hope this finds each of you & your families safe and well.
In a traditional year, when the calendar flipped from July to August it signaled the end of the summer. As a teacher and as a student, buying school supplies was always a highlight for me. My family will tell you the freshly stocked school supply aisle was like a beacon calling me home. The feeling this year is a little different, and while this year is shaping up to be anything but traditional, we’re still ready to transition from summer to fall.
On Saturday, I had the pleasure of meeting some of you at the Destiny Backpack Event. Sure, it’s a different experience with families remaining in their cars and all of us in masks, but the sense of anticipation was still there. The start of school is just around the corner.
I want to give a big shoutout to our teachers who haven’t slowed down this summer! So many have been working hard to grow and improve their knowledge of technology in order to best serve our students. We’re one week into three weeks of professional development offered from the district to our teachers. And I’m impressed with our teachers' efforts to learn more and do more with technology.
Please be sure to read through the newsletter for the latest on school news!
Be well.
GO HAWKS!
~ Ms. Dickson
