Classes stable

The majority of our classes are in good shape and off and running. With the fair and holiday attendance has varied each day. Thus, a bit difficult to determine actual numbers at this point. We are confident we can meet the needs of our students but it does take a few regular days to see what will balance.

We had an unexpected retirement right at the start of the school year. It effects five classes of upper level biology. We have been working rapidly to find a quality replacement. Thanks to the efforts of Ms. Rumppe we have provided a solid start to the school year. Regardless of the best plans, things happen.

In the next two days we should have schedule changes complete and the students in the appropriate classes. Student support will begin next week with tutoring in almost all core subjects at all levels. We want students to be successful at high levels.

Parent programming start the middle of next month. We have good sign up already. Registration was in the opening packets.

Continue to check the Southwest web site for more information. The Parent Portal is active. Attendance phone calls have started. This has been a good opening.
