Back to School

Tomorrow is the 1st day of school! I am excited to see all of you and hope that you are looking forward to the start of a new year even though it means getting up early. If you are worried about the first day being awful (like the cute video clip I found), then please let me assure you that it will be a great day!

We will have a very strange bell schedule running throughout the day. 

The freshman students will start school at 7:45 and will begin the day with a lot of fun activities that the Link Crew (mentor students) will be facilitating to help them adjust to being Kilbourne Wolves.  The Link leaders have been working hard to prepare and I know they are looking forward to getting to know all of the freshmen tomorrow.  Later in the day you, like the rest of the students will briefly go to each class.

All sophomores, juniors and seniors will start school at 10:00. There will be a few group presentations and activities as well as lunch before you run through the day with very short classes – essentially there will be enough time to make sure you can find your classes, meet your teacher and classmates before moving on to the next class. 

Additionally, I know that many of you attempted to request schedule changes. The reality is that while some were possible, most were not. Remember, we cannot make teacher changes. If you requested a schedule change and I didn't call you to let you know that it wasn't possible, you can pick up your new schedule from the red trays in the middle of the counseling center. Each of the trays are identified with a counselor's name. You will see my name on the top tray and just look through the schedules in that tray to find your schedule if you still need to pick it up. This way you don't have to miss out on getting the new copy of your schedule just because I am in a meeting or trying to help another student.  Please don't forget that you still need your old schedule though because your original schedule is what will show you your locker and computer information.

Tomorrow will be a great day to kick off a wonderful year.  Be sure to get a good night's sleep! :-)
