Dear Families of 8 Gold Students,

Welcome back to the R.J. Grey community and the 8 Gold team! We hope your family is enjoying the last bit of summer you have left. Here at school, we are gearing up and we look forward to meeting your student soon. As always, we are committed to our students and hope to provide the best possible learning experience for them this year.

We want to take this opportunity now to share some important information about our team.

We believe in open communication between teachers, students, and their families and we want all of our students to have a successful and enjoyable school year. First, please check our Team Website regularly, where you can find the team homework calendar. Additionally, please encourage your children to speak directly with their teachers about any issues related to their school experiences. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us via email, and we will get back to you in a timely fashion.

As a team, we meet on a regular basis during the week, planning team activities and discussing how we can best meet the needs of our students. Some of this time is also set aside to meet with parents or guardians in person or over Zoom as the need arises. If you would like to schedule a team meeting for any reason, please call or email Christine Hanley (cpharo@abschools.org) in the Counseling Office or Caroline O'Brien (cobrien@abschools.org).

Enjoy the last days of summer, and we look forward to meeting you soon.

Sincerely,
