Some people say finally, some say already; however, the end is here! When the end of the school year has arrived, it brings many new and exciting challenges. For my family this means , soccer, football, tubing, skiing and yes, golf. While students and staff may be home relaxing this summer. Dale, Julie, Dawn and I will be preparing for your return.
This summer the office hours will be from 8am-2pm, Monday thru Thursday.
I have had many great questions about scheduling for classes next year. All students have been scheduled into homeroom, math and reading classes for 2009-2010. The student schedules will be mailed home along with the final report cards on June 30th.
This marked the end of our spring testing session. The preliminary data is amazing. We have posted scores well above the national average in every subject and in every grade. In next Friday's blog I will give an in depth look at the data.
Thank you to all the parents and families for coming to the music performance last week, what an amazing night. The best part was meeting at Mr. Twisty's after the concert and in the rain. Hopefully we have started a new tradition at STRIDE.
I hope everyone had a great year and come and visit this summer.

The First Blog
After a few years of reading blogs on news sites, education sites and of course sports, I feel the time is now to start using a blog as an information tool here at STRIDE. I will try hard to write a weekly blog to be published every Friday. The topics will be varied to include specific STRIDE events, education progress at STRIDE, any proposed changes, national updates on education and any concerns that may be addressed.
I am very excited to share my thoughts with you and just as excited to read your thoughts. What you have to say as part of the STRIDE and/or education community is important and welcome. Please feel free to have a say. Here are a few ground rules that I would like to set in this forum (http://www.problogger.net/):
1. I delete spam - I have spam filters in place which automatically catch the majority of automated spam comments. I don’t put up with it and if any slip through the filters I delete it immediately.
2. Relevant links in comments are actively encouraged - if you’re leaving a comment on my blogs and want to point to a link on your own or someone else’s site that is relevant to the topic then please feel free to do so. This adds to the conversation and improves the blog.
3. Irrelevant links are not encouraged - if you leave a comment with a link in it that has no relevance to the post you’re commenting on it could be deleted.
4. I will delete comments that are deragatory in nature towards an individual or group. We also may have children reading the blog and all language should be appropriate for their eyes.
During the week I will always review the comments to identify any topics the forum would like to discuss. Have a great weekend!
Upcoming Events
June 8- 23- District Testing
June 11- Family Picnic Riverside Park
June 16- Musical Performance at Westwood Church
