Stand 4 Change - Friday, May 4, 2012- Want to learn more?  Go to http://stand4change.org/ .  We'll be standing, will you?                             

Next Year's Schedule
You should have received your child's requests for next year.  Please contact your child's counselor with any changes or concerns.  We are beginning next year's scheduling process soon.  During this process, we'll be transitioning over to a brand new student management system.  This will impact the program we use to schedule students, the program teachers use for grading, the program you use to track your child's progress and much more.  The change over is both exciting and a bit scary since technology can be amazing when it's working well and very frustrating when things don't go like you expect them to.  Luckily, we'll all have an opportunity to support each other through next year's learning process.

Your child can expect to receive a schedule during orientation, set for August 27th, more info to follow.  If you have any concerns after seeing the schedule, please contact your child's counselor.
