just.jpgA special message to seniors and their families:
Four years are coming close to an end. It is hard to believe the time is almost near to say goodbye. I still remember our first day together…scared, unsure, and wanting to fit in, at least that’s how I felt. Your first day of high school and mine as a high school principal, wow! You have had such an impact on my life. Thanks.

To those of you returning:
We have some exciting plans in the works.
• On June 27th, we are planning a work day at TJ. I am excited by the community commitment.
• We are planning a school culture summit for early September. As we begin the planning, I feel the buzz of excitement around ways to continue to make TJ the best it can be. When the committee talks about its vision, it is to have TJ be seen as a premier high school: A place where people feel welcome, where students feel their voices and ideas are heard and acted upon, a place where parents are engaged in the development of ideas, where staff love coming to work, and where students are excited to be. A place where academics and excellence reign, and yet a place where you want to belong in extra curricular events. The vision is surely something I want to be a part of! What about you?

Important dates for next year:
• Freshman Academy [incoming 9th graders]; July 27 - August 7, 2009
• Registration:
1. Seniors - August 4, 2009
2. Juniors - August 5, 2009
3. Sophomores - August 6, 2009
4. Freshmen - August 7, 2009 or during Freshmen Academy for those attendees.
5. District Drop-in/Make-up Registration days - August 11 & 12, 2009
• Freshman Barb-B-Que - August 6, 2009
• First day of school for freshmen - August 19, 2009
• All students in school - August 20, 2009

Have a safe and relaxing summer!
