Vision
At East Central Junior High we are committed to preparing students academically and socially to be self-sufficient, contributing members of the community with plans for a successful future.
Hopefully everyone has had an enjoyable Spring Break and your March Madness bracket looks better than the one I completed. While watching some of the basketball games this past weekend I found it interesting how many teams jumped out to big first half leads only to see those leads dwindle in the second half of the game. It didn't matter how great the teams played in the first half of the game if they didn't finish as strong as they started it. The same is true for our last push through the school year. We have truly done an amazing job of defining our culture and we will continue to improve along the way, but it means very little if we don't finish the year strong. We have a great opportunity this week with parent conferences to communicate with our students and parents about what needs to be done in order to finish the year strong. Finally, as is the case with any break, this is a great time to reflect and reset our expectations for the last nine weeks of the school year. I look forward to seeing the fruition of our hard work this school year and I am honored to serve as your principal.
A few things to focus/refocus our attention on this week:
- Report time to the gyms is 7:55 each morning.
- We should be actively monitoring students in the gyms.
- Seek opportunities to praise student behavior.
- We have two drills this week.
- Parent Conferences are Tuesday and Thursday from 4:00-7:30
- 20 Days until OCCT Testing begins (April 18th)
