I hope everyone had a chance to connect with family and friends while we were away from school. I was fortunate enough to have family visit from out of town and catch up with friends from college. I don’t remember when “vacations” became more about the people than the “stuff” for me, but I know that spending time with these people is all I needed for some time away from work. That said, I am looking forward to getting back to school and finishing the semester strong.  

As we return this week, it is very hard for me to believe that we will flip the calendars to December. With that comes our second quarter progress reports being accessible to families and students inside of Skyward on November 30th. We will also send a copy home with students on that day as well.  

We will also host the first round of the boys’ volleyball district tournament on Wednesday at 5:30. Our girls’ team has a bye for this round and will play at home next week. (Volleyball playoff brackets)

I’d like to congratulate Jhyaden Mejia & Maxim Kachirski for making the All-County Concert Band. Also, congratulations to Irelynn Diltz, Conlen Smith and Malcolm Kramer for making both the All-County and All-County Jazz Band! This is the most band students we have ever had accepted into All-County.
