Dear Parents and Students,

I hope this email finds you well and enjoying the Labor Day weekend. Over the summer preparations for the new school year were completed. The athletic season has begun and the District welcomed 14 new faculty to its ranks at a "New Teacher Orientation" this past week.

Classes Resume and the Parent Portal
Instruction resumes on Wednesday, September 3rd and all of us are excited to meet our students as they return to our campuses. This year, the Parent Portal is now available for all K-12 students' class and transportation information. Please note that transportation information is available only on the Parent Portal to ensure the confidentiality of student pick-up and drop-off points.

Toward Excellence
As a school district, we continue on the journey toward excellence as we further the work of the District's Strategic Plan to create learner centered classrooms, engage students using technology and support the social and emotional growth of all learners.

Strategic Plan Goal - Facilities
As part of the work of the Strategic Plan, the Board of Education met this summer with the District's architects and construction manager to review the scope and estimated costs for the recommendations made by the Facilities Planning Committee. The recommendations focused on the renovation of the Westlake campus to meet 21st century program needs, while addressing significant infrastructure issues at all schools to reach 21st century standards. Based on this review, the Board will consider a resolution to move forward with this process at its September meeting. Additional information will be provided over the coming weeks.

Each September we start anew and with each fresh start comes great promise. I look forward to seeing you at events in our schools this year and wish you and your children a promising and wonderful 2014-2015!

Regards,
Sue
