I’d like to begin by welcoming back all of our returning families, as well as all of our new families. I hope you all had a fantastic summer break and are ready to come back to school. Our staff is looking forward to a new and promising year and we can’t wait to begin working with your children!
I’d also like to take a moment to introduce three new staff members: Jennifer Morales (5th grade), Keri Shenk (1st grade), and Mike Marshall (school psychologist) join our staff and we look forward to their contribution. As you’ll soon see, we also had some changes in teacher grade levels. Moving to our TK classes are Ms. McGinty and Mr. Lohner, Mrs. Adamos is now one of our 1st grade teachers, and Mrs. Castillo returns to 2nd grade. Every year changes are inevitable, but regardless we will always strive to provide our students with the most effective instruction possible. Aside from changes in staff, the most significant change of the year will be in our standards. This year our school District will be implementing the new Common Core State Standards. For more background please click here. You’ll be getting a lot more information on the CCSS throughout the year!
I hope you visit my blog regularly as I hope to update it each week with all the “going-on’s” here at McMillin. I can also share a little secret with you and that is that soon we will have an app for your “smart” phones and tablets where you will have access to lots of great information about our school. We hope for this to be up and ready within the first few weeks of school! These forms of communicating with you, our amazing McMillin community, will allow us to save a tremendous amount of money in printing and paper cost, but most importantly puts key information you need at your fingertips 24/7!
So much to look forward to….I can’t wait!! See you all soon 🙂
Mr. Mora
Principal
