Welcome to the 2010-2011 school year. We are looking forward to this year, and we hope you are too. Our staff is eager to begin working with all of you. We believe this school year will be filled with many great success stories. School success begins with a partnership between parents and teachers – home and school. To accomplish that, we must work together to educate our students. Please feel free to contact the school office any time you have a concern or question; we are here to help.

We have two big changes for this school year. The first is our new required uniform dress code. Many local stores carry uniform items such as Z-trendz, JC Penny, Wal-Mart, and Target. Please contact the school office if you have questions or would like to stop by to see samples. The second change is that Gwyneth Ham will have new school hours this year. School will begin at 8:30 a.m. and dismiss at 3:25 p.m. Students should not arrive on campus before 8:00 a.m. If you must drop your child off prior to 8:00 a.m. or pick them up after 3:25 p.m., please make arrangements with our Discovery Club to secure proper supervision for your child. Office hours will be from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

Please plan on joining us for our “Meet and Greet” on Friday, August 13 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. to help begin our home to school partnership. This will give you and your child an opportunity to meet your child’s teacher and visit the school prior to the first day of school which is on Monday, August 16.  At this time, you will be given a “wish list” of school supplies that your child could use throughout the school year. We will post class lists prior to the event.

We are ready for an exciting school year and can’t wait to meet our new students and also see all of our returning students as well. See you all soon.
