Back to School

Your summer is officially over and tonight is a School Night... which means many of you most likely have to try to completely flip your sleep schedule.  I know it will be hard, but please try to go to bed early tonight because the first few weeks of adjusting to being back at school full time tend to be exhausting.

As you are aware, Kilbourne is being remodeled.  Even though the construction company started working on the science classrooms last spring, those are still not quite finished, but in about another month you'll get to see those finished rooms.  There are other new classrooms that have been built, all lockers have been removed from the second floor and a new hallway has been added upstairs.  Additionally, the classrooms have all been re-numbered.  So a teacher's classroom might be in the same location as you remember, but the numbers for those rooms have changed.  (An easy example, the study hall classroom that is multi-tiered used to be Room 207, but now that is Room 201.)  These changes will take a little time getting used to and the good news, as I mentioned to some of the freshmen today when I was talking to them is that right now, everyone is in the same boat - there is no one in the school who will know exactly where they are going or how to find a particular room on the second floor.  We will all quickly adapt and adjust.  (Probably just in time for it to change because the construction will be ongoing throughout the school year and we will be flexible with moving classrooms and adapting to the various learning spaces as they open and close throughout the year.)

I am looking forward to seeing all of you tomorrow!  It will be so good to have everyone back in the building again.  Kilbourne is a great place to work, but it truly is amazing because of our students and so it will be so nice to have you all together with us again!  Lexi is definitely anxious to see all of you!  She doesn't understand where her friends went for the summer so be sure to stop by the counseling center and say hi to Lexi and me.
