This past week we welcomed back all of our new and returning Grenadiers to the 2023-2024 academic school year. If you missed our special Colonial Connection summer editions, I hope that you had a restful summer and perhaps the chance to read at least one good book!
Our Grenadiers opened the new school year at a quick pace Thursday morning and this Monday we now kick-off our first regular five-day school week. I want to thank all of our incredibly dedicated faculty, staff, and coaches for their quality time during our pre-planning period which directly helped to get the year off to a successful start. Watching our educators working together as a team during pre-planning combined with the students' efforts these past couple of days, suggests that this year will be one of tremendous growth and achievement. Going forward, we will continue to partner and collaborate with each other and with our Colonial families and the broader community. Together, we have the power to make a lasting impact on the lives of our students and the entire Colonial community. Thank you in advance for your support this school year.
I hope you will find these Colonial Connection editions both informational and inspirational. Please also remember to stop by our website and social media platforms all along.
Here is to a wonderful and rewarding school year ahead for each of our Grenadiers!
It's Great To Be A Grenadier!

OCPS families and employees,
There have been state legislative and rule changes around the Parents Bill of Rights since last school year which impact students, teachers and staff. All of our school principals have been provided information and guidance to share and we have also made the same information available to you on the district’s website Parental Rights in OCPS webpage. You will be able to access the memos and a frequently asked questions document.
Thank you for your support of Orange County Public Schools.

This event included professionals from all over the world who offer the Cambridge Program. Colonial High School participated in a panel Q and A where they offered opinions on the program, the curriculum, and the Bright Futures Scholarship program. |

Monday's Motivational Moment! |
|
|
Think "tomorrow."
Make today's efforts pay off tomorrow.
Free the imagination.
You are capable of more than you can imagine —
so imagine the ultimate.
Strive for lasting quality.
"Good enough" never is.
Have "stick-to-it-ivity."
Never, never, never give up.
Have fun.
You're never truly a success until you
enjoy what you are doing.
