This is such an exciting time for everyone; students, parents, and teachers. As much as we love the carefree and relaxed atmosphere that summer brings, there is a certain serenity in routines and regularity. This year at David Cameron is no exception, we are all looking forward to another great year.
This past week, our staff worked hard behind the scenes to re-organize student placements due to the addition of a new division. In June we tentatively place students into their classes based on our projected enrollment and then often need to make adjustments due to new arrivals. This year our numbers are close to the 350 student mark.
During the first week of school, students returned to their previous year's class and re-connected with friends, while teachers made those class adjustments. It was also a great opportunity to refresh our school expectations in the minds of the students. In order for us to all "be together", we must "work together" to create the kind of school we want. We also introduced our first virtue of the year - Idealism. This sets the tone for our year in encouraging students to dream big and to pursue those dreams. It also focuses us on setting high standards and expectations within our school community.
So, with all of that in mind, here we go again with the 2010/2011 school year.
