Principal’s Message

February 2010

It’s not too early to start thinking about the end of this school year! Now that we are a few weeks into the second semester, it is useful for us to be resetting our goals for our students. Has it been a successful school year so far? If so, great! What can we do to make the second semester as successful, or more successful, than the first? If not, then what can we do to turn things around?

I often urge students, parents, and teachers to communicate more often as a way to ensure student success. Please do take the time to have a conversation about goals for the second semester.

For 6^th graders: how has the transition to Ovid been for your student? Is he or she setting the stage for getting the most out of the middle school experience?

For 7^th graders: this is the halfway point of your middle school experience. What are you doing to make sure that the three semesters ahead will put you in the best possible position for the transition to high school?

For 8^th graders: your time in the middle school is almost over (believe it or not!). Do you feel ready to be a successful high school student? Do you feel more independent now that your middle school days are winding down?
