We made it through our first week of school with flying colors!  We have 224 freshmen and very few of them got lost.  Although still a little sleepy, the students were ready to learn and didn't miss a beat in the school spirit department.  They came out in droves for the soccer and football games  last week, even though actual games don't start until this week.  At any rate, the year is off to a good start; and I look forward to working with all of you.

As I mentioned last week, Carroll will hold its inaugural "Meet the Teacher Night" this Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.  The evening will begin in the main gym where you will pick up a copy of your student's schedule and hear some very brief remarks from me.  You'll then follow your child's daily schedule, having six minutes for each class and four minutes between periods.  During the "class" you will hear from each teacher about the scope and sequence of their course and things you and your child can expect during the year.  There really won't be time for individual conferencing, but you'll gain a much deeper understanding of how we can work together to ensure your child's success. 

I look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday and remember that is it a great day to be a Patriot!
