August has begun and we are just two weeks away from our first day of school. I hope it has been a great summer and that you and your student are excited about starting the school year. 
 
Please take a few minutes and read through the information below. I will also be sending a “Back to School” email at the end of the week to help you and your student be ready for their return on August 16th. Have a great week!
 
Sincerely,
 
Chris Mayfield
