Eagle Wings
Weekly Staff Update For Caroline Middle School-August 2019
Welcome Back
Greetings Eagle Family,
I want to first express that it extremely humbling to have the opportunity to serve and support you as the Principal of Caroline Middle School. As you will discover, I believe in building relationships and developing a shared vision through collaboration as the core component in moving our school to the next level. I am very eager and excited to work with each and every one of you in this regard. I have included a link below to my introduction and welcome letter which expands on my values, beliefs, and experience:

As we approach the 2019-2020 school year, I want you to be informed and prepared for the upcoming week. Please note the following important information:
On Monday, August 5, 2019, we will open our week with a breakfast social to include our first faculty meeting of the school year. New staff will be introduced. We will also highlight glows, goals, and much more.
As we are making progress in the master scheduling process, there are still some adjustments being made. Therefore, teaching schedules will be provided when you report on August 5, 2019.
Staff and faculty t-shirts have been ordered for you and will be available next week so that you can show your school spirit and Eagle Pride at the Division Convocation.
Our agreed upon theme/slogan this year is #DifferenceMakers. This implies being intentional and deliberate in our efforts daily to have a profound impact on our school and its students.
