Announcements and Assignments for Monday

Dear Parents and Guardians

We hope you are all well.

We are saddened to announce that Mr. Crain has decided to leave us in order to pursue other career opportunities. We are happy to announce that we have retained the services of Mr. Jeffrey Virgin who will take over for the high school English and Yearbook Courses. Mr. Virgin is a certified English teacher with a Masters Degree in Secondary Education. He has had experience at DW Higgins and the Mesa Unified District. Mr. Gordon, whose grade 8 students scored in the 78th percentile in reading and 89th percentile in writing, and has had three years experience as an English instructor will take over the course.

We are also pleased to announce that we are creating a third section of Algebra One where students will get greater individualized attention that will start on Monday. Mrs. Kielsky, a teacher with background in Mathematics and degreed in Chemistry will instruct the course.

Please remember that next Friday is a half day and we will call families for the first time this year if a childs grade is below a C in any one course.
