Making Sure It's Done Well


School began yesterday across the District, but we should also recognize that there were a variety of orientation activities provided at schools across the District on Friday the 26th.  As an example, I attended King HS that has a celebratory way to bring their freshman on-campus and welcome them to their high school experience.  It was outstanding and was facilitated by many including their Link Crew that will mentor and support their fellow students throughout the school year.

I was also able to attend the opening of the STEM Academy and the initial orientation for those students.  The event was covered by several media sources including a video representation by the Press Enterprise.  It was pretty exciting to see one of our two “new schools” launch on Friday.

Our staff across this District is clearly committed to our students and their success.  It couldn’t have been better represented than to view the activities (both the ones I saw and the ones I didn’t see) that occurred across the District – before school even started.
