WELCOME TO THE 2010-2011 SCHOOL YEAR!

Hello, new second grade students and families! I just can't tell you how excited I am to get our year underway. We have so many things going on at Northville Central School this year. When you arrive on Wednesday, you'll see our door has a sign stating, "Room 130 is under construction." That's not true in the traditional sense (yet!) everything's neat as a pin and ready to go, but we certainly are under construction in many other ways. The following is a sample list of some of the big changes underway!

We are pleased to welcome our new elementary principal, Mr. Bill Crankshaw and Miss Amber Allen, second grade teacher. We look forward to working closely with both of our new staff members. Many other faculty members are changing roles in response to class numbers and economic restrictions.

The physical renovations in our school environment include, new tile and carpeting in many classrooms after removal of asbestos tiles, a new gym roof, repaving of the south parking lot, repainting of exterior trim, and the completion of the next phase of the front sidewalk project.

The faculty is continuing the work we started last year on mapping our curriculum and Atlas software has been installed to help coordinate our results. The entire staff is being trained to use our new management software called PowerSchool. This program will coordinate and allow easier access to student records. Eventually, parents will be able to access their child's grades and teacher comments from home!

This may be much more information than you'd care to know, but I wanted you to be aware of how invested and involved your child's educators are in our students' education! Most of my posts from this point forward will specifically concern what is happening with second graders in our classroom.

I hope you've had a wonderful summer with time for relaxation, projects, trips, or just enjoying the great weather we've had. I can't wait to see the kids on Wednesday!

Most sincerely,
Mrs. Lanie Groff
