You know the fall season is coming when…
…the soccer teams are going through their drills
…the marching band is preparing for football games
…the football team has its overnighter
…cross country runners are logging miles
Summer will soon be a memory and school will be in session once again – and we’re ready!!
The JES sewer project is complete and we are now in compliance with township sewer codes. Classrooms and furniture in all the buildings have been thoroughly cleaned and arranged, thanks to Greg Shaffer and his crew of hard workers. The road patching around the main campus has been completed, along with the sealing and relining of several parking lots. InShore has been busy preparing and updating the technology needs of each building. First Student transportation has been working with the District’s transportation coordinator to set bus routes, stops and pick up/drop off times. Of course there are numerous other summer tasks that have been completed; these are just the ones that relate directly to the arrival of students. Suffice it to say that summer is a busy, busy time for all those involved in getting the District ready for the upcoming year.
As you may have noticed, we have installed a gate above CES. The times for open/closing are:
· Open first day of the school week at 6am
· Closed during the day at 9:15am
· Re-opened during the school day at 2pm
· Closed at 11pm on the last day of the school week and reopened at 6am on the morning of the first student day of the next week (this means that the road is closed when students are not in school)
The gate is intended to protect the campus while school is in session and to reduce the amount of traffic on our road system.
Congratulations to all students and staff for making AYP again this year. 11th grade students will not take the PSSA this year—don’t sigh with relief just yet. These students will instead take the Keystone exams; more on this as testing time draws near.
Finally, what would my blog be without some mention of football at this time of year? I can now look forward to my gridiron fanaticism with great glee. As I had said last year at this time – “for me, the anticipation of the season is in some ways better than the season itself: once it starts I know it will end in a couple months.” But I am nonetheless thankful that it is finally here.
I look forward to another wonderful opening day this year as we begin the 2012-13 school year. I wish each student and staff member a wonderful, productive and safe school year. Let’s hope we have a beautiful fall with vibrant colors and that winter is similar to last year.
