New Students and Schedule Changes
Whether it is a new student or changing a current student's schedule to met their educational needs, we always take a look at team sizes, class sizes, who is in that class, when it falls in their schedule, etc... Students are not simply placed randomly into classes without doing some investigation first.
As you know, there are a few class periods that our hands are locked. For example 5th period there are few electives so our Blue team classes are large during that time. This is the same for 4th period Red/Purple, they have all of their students during this time.
We also have Blue team that currently has 8 more students then Green team. So new 8th grade students will be placed on Green team or Purple team if the schedule fits.
Please keep all of these things in mind as we continue to get new students and change schedules to meet our student's needs.

Building Update
As you know, this past week we had our official ground breaking ceremony for the new building! This week starts the bi-weekly construction meetings on Wednesday mornings. At these meetings Fetter's construction will give administration updates on the project and timeline updates.
I also want to update you on some furniture items. Last week Brian and I met with KI furniture and will be visiting their showroom and looking at products in October. Sharp School Furniture came in for a meeting this past week. Brian and I asked for some furniture samples, that we saw this summer, so that you have a chance to see them and give us your thoughts. We ordered 2 different types of teacher desks, a storage unit, 5 student desks, 5 student chairs, 5 stools, and a teacher chair. These items should be here once we return from Christmas break.
