Dear Students and Parents,

Welcome to the 2009-2010 school year and to our new website.  We worked hard to prepare the school for a successful start for our new and returning students and their families.  Our office and custodial staff have worked tirelessly to prepare for returning teachers and students.  Our District maintenance and grounds departments, plus volunteers, have painted and even planted 43 trees to bring much-needed shade and beauty to our campus.  Inside our classrooms, the construciton of new learning and the ever-expansion of our 1,400 students' minds continues.

Explore our website and learn so much about our dynamic, and student-centered school community.  View our online K-5 and 6-8 PowerPoint orientations by clicking on the academics tab above.  Upon arrival to Sycamore, ask for a copy of our 2009-2010 Student Handbook which details policies, procedures, programs, activities, and specifics for both elementary and middle school students.  Should you have any additional questions, email, call or stop by the office for more information.  We have added a helpful link to our website, "Wing's World" which enables you to email our Assistant Principal, Robert Wing.  He will respond to students and parents in a timely fashion, so ask away!

Some essential links to information are along the tabs at the top and left hand side panel of this page for families throughout this school year.  More details about topics in this intro are highlighted below. 

This is a time for new friendships, challenging learning, and fun for all of us.  For current correspondence and articles from me, check out our weekly newsletters and monthly Breeze periodical.

Sincerely,
