Good afternoon!

The time is here and we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our students tomorrow. We have worked the past week preparing for the first day of a great year. We will begin our first day of a successful year. The halls are shining, lights are bright,  and the bulletin boards are all nice and right!  School will begin promptly at 8:25 am. I advise that students arrive at the bus stop about 10 minutes earlier than the scheduled time. In addition, with the rain, we may experience a longer than usual car rider line. Please plan accordingly. Schedules will be ready tomorrow. Please know that schedules may be adjusted during the first 10 days of school. If students did not attend Hilfest  and are unaware of their homeroom teacher, we will have rosters posted in the halls. Students are expected to be in our uniform attire tomorrow. If there are families that need support, please contact the front office for more information. I can not express enough how excited we are to receive our students. We are moving forward with the end in mind! It is going to be a great year. Below you will find more information about the week.

Announcements:

Thank you for a great 6th Grade Transition Camp and HilFest! 

We no longer have an A day and a B day! Our Connections Team worked at the end of last year to prepare a schedule that allowed more stability for the students and teachers. Therefore students will rotate Connections every 18 weeks unless they are in year long courses. This will make more sense when you review your child's schedule. The change is welcomed and we believe that it is definitely going to have a great impact on students' transitions, discipline, and grades.

21st Century will begin September 5, 2017. Please register your child for the program as it provides both academic and enrichment opportunities. Remember that this program is mandatory for some of our rising 7th and 8th graders. Contact Mrs. Dalton for more details and registration information.

Each student should receive a CCSD calendar and  Student Code of Conduct. Please review the information and return the blue form ASAP to your child's homeroom teacher.

Every teacher should send home a course syllabus within the first week of school. Again, I ask that you familiarize yourself with the classroom and course expectations.

If there is a schedule concern, please email Ms. Tolbert.
