From the Principal
Dear Parents:
Welcome back to the 2008-2009 school year. I hope everyone had a restful and exciting summer break. The teachers have been preparing their classrooms for their students in anticipation of a great year.
I would ask that each McAuliffe Family go over the Parent/Student Information Guide carefully. If you have any questions, please call us at 429-4565 for clarification.
Your child(ren) will be bringing home a Rights and Responsibilities packet during the first week of school. This is important information pertaining to student behavior. You will also find a Communication Network Access Form. Please be sure to read this over with your child(ren) going over the Terms & Conditions carefully.
The use of technology in our culture is becoming more and more prevalent. I know I am always pleased when we are able to update technology tools. Our students are also excited with new technology, hardware, software and/or Internet use. I have seen many amazing projects and learning connected to technology. This school year our classrooms will have Promethean Boards. These boards allow our teachers and students to use the Internet and computer programs to enhance learning.
We will also be adding Discovery Education Streaming to our teachers’ toolbox. This is an online video-on-demand teaching service with over 7,000 full-length videos, 77,000 video clips and more visual images to help our students to see what we cannot physically bring into the classroom.
Our staff is excited about this school year!
Sincerely,
Peg Sheehan
