Dear Parents and Students,

            As we approach the beginning of a new school year, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all of you.  For many, it is a greeting extended to old friends; to others, it is an introduction and an invitation.  To all, it constitutes a pledge of continued efforts to provide the best possible education for our students.

            Our school's reputation and success rest, in large measure, on parental concern and involvement.  We seek to afford each student an education commensurate with his or her abilities, relevant to this country's needs, and challenging to a degree that will prompt a love of learning.  This is not easy task.  We need your cooperation and understanding if this year is to provide a profitable and satisfying experience for your child.  Our school, from its foundation, has stressed academic excellence and in this there is no compromise or change.

            Our school can take pride in its highly qualified and dedicated faculty.  These educators welcome your concern, and they view education as a partnership between home and school.  Over the years, the spirit and tradition that is our school have played a key role in shaping the educational experience.  Each class profits from the example of those who have gone before them.  Ours has been a tradition of students committed to the proposition that the privilege of coming to school carries with it the obligation to do the best they can.  These are important years, and it is reassuring to work with students who see a challenge in their potential to become the best they can.

            If there is anything we can do to help your child, please do not hesitate to call the unvoiced problem cannot be resolved, as the missed opportunity rarely offers itself again.  Our goal remains to provide the best possible education for each student.

            We trust that your experience with our school will enhance your faith in public education and that you will find in this school an education for your child that is worthy of your love and concern for them.

 

 

                                                                                                Sincerely,
