Quote of the Week: “The beginning is the most important part of the work.” ~Plato, The Republic
Coordinator’s Message: Welcome back, Corebabies! I hope your summer was one of fun, rest, and reflection, and that you are ready to begin anew this year. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding this week while our hard working counselors ensure you are all properly placed and that classes are balanced.

Each grade level has been working hard all summer to provide you with an exciting and fulfilling curriculum. Now you must do your part to develop the habits for success. There are many theories about what those habits are, but my suggestions include staying organized, establishing peer groups that encourage you to be your BEST self, being proactive, asking for help when you need it, enjoying the learning process, and making connections. Your teachers, counselors, and I are here to assist you, so utilize the resources available, and have your best year yet!
