Back to School

Can you believe it is a school night?  I am anxious to see all of you again, but like most of you - I will find it very difficult to get up early tomorrow morning!

A couple of quick, important reminders...

- If you cannot remember what your 2nd semester class schedule was, please look it up on Infinite Campus tonight, print it out and take it with you for tomorrow.

-  If you are a College Credit Plus student, taking CSCC classes at WKHS, your classes do not begin until January 17th so you get a few extra off periods for a few more days.

-  We are still getting grades in from your teachers for your 1st semester classes, but remember, tomorrow is a FRESH START for all of you!  One of the best parts about functioning on a semester system is that you get to start fresh at the beginning of each new semester.  As classes begin, you will not be behind in ANY of your classes.  You are able to create new goals, take new steps, and focus on achieving whatever goals you have set for yourself.  It doesn't matter if you did great 1st semester or if it was a disaster.  You start over tomorrow.  This semester is in front of you for you to make of it whatever you want to see happen.  You are in control.

- Another good reminder, as we start this new semester, please take a moment and make sure that you are ready to hit the ground running.  Clean out your bookbag, organize your notes, get new supplies if needed, find your planner and start filling it out (see me if you need a new planner), and make the most out of each day in front of you.  I am excited to see what you will accomplish in the classroom and beyond over the next few months.  As always, if you need help in your classes, please reach out to your teachers, utilize the support from the Academic Assistants, and see me for additional resources.

I am excited to see you tomorrow.  (For the record, Lexi is even more excited as she has desperately missed being around all of you!)  I hope you will stop by and see me to check in and let me know how your break went.

And, for tonight... get some sleep!  It is going to seem REALLY EARLY tomorrow when the alarms start going off!  :-)
