From the Desk of Dr. Ricks
Parents and Friends,
What a wonderful end of this first full week of school! We are beginning to have a sense of routine, and students and teachers alike are starting to feel that they know each other and the daily schedule. Carpool is running smoothly, and the littlest of Gators are getting out of the cars in the morning with fewer tears.
Thank you for your attendance and feedback regarding this week's Open House grade-level meetings. We loved spending a bit more time with you communicating our goals and objectives for the coming year. Parent conferences will roll around in October, but if you feel that you need a meeting before then, please contact your teacher for a time.
It's Box Top time! We have had a great response from the children and the box tops are coming in. This is a good way to help provide resources for our school, so please keep clipping:)
This week, as I walked the halls and visited classrooms, the learning is taking off in earnest. Please make sure that you are in communication with your child's teacher and that you are receiving all of the information that is necessary to help your child transition into the new school year. Also, for Elementary and Middle School students, having the RenWeb app is a great, mobile way to keep up with assignments and schedules. Let us know if you need help in getting connected!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Dr. Ricks
