Dear Parents/Guardians:
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome both you and your family back to school this morning. I hope your child has a great first day of school.
I realize each of us has a million and one things going through our minds right now. I will be clear and concise this morning with my message.
As we work together to navigate through a new normal in the schools, I would ask the school community to demonstrate courtesy in their interactions with one another. Courtesy is defined as "the showing of politeness in one's attitude and behavior toward others." In these challenging and unprecedented times, let's be courteous to one another.
Although our Administrative Team as well as our Faculty and Staff have worked extremely hard in developing and executing a plan that will maintain health, safety, and educational standards, today will not be perfect. Neither will tomorrow or the next day. As a school community, we need to work together to identify problems, create reasonable solutions, and encourage one another. I have confidence in our team. We got this!
I have shared this message earlier this morning with our Faculty and Staff. We cannot expect our Administrators to be perfect, our Faculty and Staff to be perfect, our Parents to be perfect, or our Students to be perfect. Our first goal is to act reasonably to protect our collective health and safety. Our second goal is to educate our students as best we can under these challenging circumstances. As concerns arise, our team will adjust, tweak, and modify the plan as needed.
Let's continue to extend one another courtesy in the days ahead. We are all doing our best to navigate through uncharted waters. I appreciate your cooperation and support.
Stay positive, stay healthy, and stay safe!
Sincerely,
Scott T. McCue
Superintendent of Schools
