The end of the first quarter will greet us this week.\u00a0 On Friday, we will have our pep rally to recognize our fall sports teams and to enhance their mojo as they advance into conference, regional, and state tournaments.\u00a0 Following our pep rally we will hold our annual field games competition.\u00a0 Monday and Tuesday will be student holidays.\u00a0 Please note that Tuesday (4 November) will also be parent conferences from 12noon to 7pm…our sign-up genius will be out soon.<\/p>\n

Students and parents should have received an email from me this morning containing the links to Student and Parent Satisfaction Surveys.\u00a0 The survey window will be open until midnight on Sunday, 2 November 2014.\u00a0 Thank you for investing a few minutes providing feedback that we can use to continually improve our service to our students and families.\u00a0 If you did not receive the link, please let me know.<\/p>\n

Speaking of feedback, our SCA leadership invited students to provide feedback on our dress code last week.\u00a0 After being synthesized, the SCA leadership will deliver recommendations for a dress code update to the administrative team.\u00a0 Before being approved by our school board, staff and parent groups will be involved in vetting the recommendations.\u00a0 We plan to have an updated code ready for presentation to\/approval by our board in time for the 2015-2016 school year.<\/p>\n

Near the bottom of our homepage (www.mlwgs.com) you will see an icon for “online fee payments”.\u00a0 As usual, you will be alerted when there is a payment which may be due of your child and you will have the option<\/strong> to pay online (we will continue to accept payment via check and cash as well).\u00a0 We hope this is helpful to your family as a convenience feature.<\/p>\n

A beautiful celebration of Bear\u2019s life occurred in our auditorium on Saturday.\u00a0 The planning was done by a committee that consisted of a broad cross section of our community.\u00a0 Special thanks are in order for our English department for their collaborative leadership in creating a fitting tribute to the life of Bear O\u2019Bryan and to all of those who participated.\u00a0 I have attached an electronic copy of the program for everyone\u2019s reference.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your ongoing support of this wonderful school.\u00a0 Jeff<\/p>\n
