When you work at a school, you don’t even have to look at a
calendar to tell that August has turned to September. The empty athletic fields
are suddenly burgeoning with modified sports teams (Thanks to http://savemodifiedsportsatwg.com), books are flying off
the shelves in our library and the quiet hallways are now full with the voices
of our students.
Welcome back everyone! The 2012-13 school year will bring many
changes to us here at Camillus Middle. From the new Common Core Learning Standards
in ELA and mathematics, to our improved student management-grading portal
SchoolTool, to the implementation of the Olweus anti-bullying program, our
entire school community is ready to learn and grow.
I will be writing about all
of these changes in this monthly newsletter, but you can get a sneak peak by
attending our Curriculum night on September 18 at 6:30 p.m. In the meantime,
please feel free to call, email or just stop by the office should you have any
questions.
