Week of 1/28/13-2/1/13 (3rd Quarter -Week 2)

6th Graders,

I wanted to personally say thank you to all of your, particularly my 3rd period class, for being so brave and patient during Friday's Code Red experience.  The feedback that we got from the Superintendent and local police, they said that "our students were fantastic and so well behaved".  I am proud of all of you.   The good news, the school was able to go through an actual Code Red experience which allowed us to identify the strengths and weaknesses which, if this ever happens again, we can keep you even safer.  Great job.  

Please read through this blog, there is a lot of information.
