From the Office

The Dream Team has spent the past week engaging in professional development, team collaboration, and instructional preparations to prepare for scholars to return on Monday morning.  Although every year is exciting and full of promise, there is a heightened sense of excitement this year as EVERY scholar and Dream Team member will begin the year in our amazing renovated facilities.  Below are important reminders about next week:

• All scholars will begin their day in the auditorium which can be accessed directly from a door on Willie Street.  Scholars who need to eat breakfast will go to the cafeteria and return to the auditorium.  Scholars should not be waiting for the day to begin in the gym, high school building, or parking lot. 

• At 8:10, all scholars and Dream Team will kick off the school year with Combined Conventus in the auditorium.  Scholars will go to first period after Conventus.
