Dear Parents,
We have a busy final weekend coming up. Saturday morning at 8:00 is the 8th grade graduation and secondary assembly. Besides the 8th graders graduating, awards will be given out to other students. Refreshments will be served following the assembly. Please try to attend this event. At 10:30, we will have the elementary awards assembly. Parents please be present as our children have a chance to shine.
High school graduation is at 5:00 Sunday afternoon at Bisharat Golf Club. A reception follows the ceremony. Everyone is invited. If you need directions please call Mrs. Muna in the office on or before Saturday.
I have been in discussion with the School Board concerning our new dress code for elementary students. Several parents have voiced concern about this being a financial burden. My intent was not to cause financial stress on our families. I still would like to see our students in collared shirts, but I am not going to demand that our elementary students follow the new dress code. This new dress code is mandatory for the secondary school, however. This will be printed up in our new Parent/Student Handbook that will be given out in August. I hope this calms some of the anxiety that you are facing during this time of global financial downturn.
