Class Assignments
We anticipate e-mailing class assignments later on this afternoon August 24th.
The building is open and in the past many students have stopped by to take a look at the classroom to which they are assigned. You're welcome to do so Thursday and Friday between 9 AM and 3 PM.
Mr. Wiener and I are doing lots of work to prepare for the opening of school. The custodians are also putting final touches on cleaning and preparation and setup. So please understand if we’re not out and about in the hallways and if we're not yet in “School’s Open” mode!
Tips for Opening Day of School
2. DO NOT bring all your supplies on the first day. Just bring some pens and pencils and some paper/small binder/folder. Going forward from there, your teachers will tell you what's essential to bring.
3. Please don't worry about which cafeteria you will be assigned to on Day One. Students may switch cafeterias whenever they wish.
4. Clubs and intramurals won't start on the first day, so please have a plan for after school the first week.
5. You do not have to buy fancy stuff to decorate the inside of your locker. Why not consider donating the money you would spend on locker chandeliers or other items to an organization like Operation Backpack which provides backpacks and school supplies for homeless students? You can be proud to display in your locker a certificate from the Volunteers of America acknowledging your donation.
Correction
The first PTSA meeting of the year will take place at 9 AM on September 8. (An earlier version of the Bulletin stated that it was scheduled for September 17)
