"From the Desk of the Superintendent"- September 4th Letter

Dr. Nancy J. McGinley discusses President Obama's education speech planned for Tuesday.  She writes, "the President of the United States of America wants to send a positive message to students about personal responsibility, character, and hard work. We have heard from many schools who see this as a tremendous learning opportunity, and we will make the speech available to all interested students and families.  At the same time, we are here to serve our students and parents, and we will absolutely respect the wishes of individual parents who do not want their children to hear from the President next week."
