The beginning of this year is one of big changes for you and for me. You are starting new classes and meeting new teachers. I am meeting new students and getting to know them. We will also be using a whole new set of English III standards from the state that should prepare students more effectively for the future. These standards include language, communication, writing, logic, media, research, reading informational text, and reading literature.
Each school year is a brand new start. We all leave the old stuff (not the old learning) behind and start with a clean slate.
I am looking forward to getting to know each and every one of you.
