SUPERINTENDENT’S CORNER—YEAR 3:
This
is year three of our bi-weekly on-line newsletter. I try to target the
first and third Thursday’s of each month to send you updates on things
happening around the district and other pertinent (sometimes not)
information. I hope you find these informative. Please call with
suggestions.
OPENING OF
SCHOOL:
The opening of school went very
smoothly. Again, kudos to all staff who worked over the summer to prepare
our buildings, grounds, schedules, supplies, etc. for the start of
school. Also, it is great to have everyone back on campus. Have a great
year!
2005-2006 PAYROLL CALENDAR:
The first pay period for
professional and 180-185 day/39-week staff is today. Please check your
information for accuracy. Please notify Barbara Marston at the District
Office with questions.
MIDDLE SCHOOL PROJECT:
We have been told that PDE
approval of our middle school project is imminent. We can expect work
from contractors to begin in the next several weeks. The phasing of the
project calls for external work to be done during the 2005-2006 school
year (the building of new additions). We have been told that little work
will happen inside the existing middle school building during this school
year.
The major interior renovation will begin during the summer of 2006. It is
our plan at this time that the middle school building will be closed to
all events during the summer of 2006.
TALK TO ME:
This is a reminder that if you
have issues, concerns, questions, comments, or compliments, please feel
free to pull me aside, call me, or stop in and see me. As with your
jobs, I often get tied-down with the numerous tasks of my job, and don’t
get to stop, talk, and listen as often as I would like (there are 250 or
so of you). However, as many of you know, I try to get around, but
also, return phone calls and meet on request as quickly as possible.
Please just let me know.
