We have now completed two full weeks of the 2010-2011 school year and, thanks to you, we are off to a great start! The parent's excitement about the new year was clear last night as over 50 families gathered at Chick-Fil-A for School Spirit Night! The atmosphere was almost electric with children playing on the playground and parents enjoying some relaxed conversation with friends. We were even treated to a surprise visit by the CFA cow! A huge thank you to all who participated. The CFA staff said they have never seen a school with a turn out like ours! Please plan to join us next month on Friday, October 1.
A big thank you also to all of you for your patience and cooperation in the car line. Every year it takes a couple of weeks for everything to smooth out, but this year you have gone above and beyond previous years. Last year the evening pick up line took 15 minutes to complete; this year, though there are more cars on campus, the line has been completed in 12 minutes! Interestingly enough, these times are holding true for both the elementary and middle/high school lines. We could not do this without your help!
In closing, please continue to encourage your students to use their planner and keep up with their school work. We are getting settled in to the 1st nine weeks so it is important to work hard now and get the grades off to a good start. Progress reports come out in two weeks, when you'll also be able to meet with the teachers to discuss your child's progress. Please make your plans to participate in this important aspect of your child's education.
Until next time, keep looking up!
