Dear Parents and Guardians,
As the new principal at Sycamore Junior High I would like to welcome you to the 2015-2016 school year! I hope you have enjoyed your summer and are as excited as I am about the year ahead at Sycamore Junior High. It is a true honor to be a part of a district that is rich with tradition! As your new principal, my goal is to continue to provide your children with a learning environment that grows him/her both academically and socially. With the support of our staff, our high academic standards and extracurricular programs will foster the development of a well-rounded adolescent.
There have been many exciting things happening in the building. You will notice the front lobby area has been renovated to increase security and safety for our students and staff. We are also preparing for the One2One Initiative, which will provide every student with a Chromebook to use as a learning tool in the classroom and at home. This will open many new curricular avenues for challenging students while providing them a blended learning curriculum.
Our staff has been hard at work preparing the facilities, curriculum and opening day celebrations to kick off the school year. The upcoming weeks are full of opportunities for your student to be introduced to his/her schedule of classes and tour the school in preparation for the first day. The administrative team looks forward to meeting you and your children at our Schedule Pickup event on August 12th and 13th. This will be an opportunity for you and your student to finish schools forms, get schedules and locker assignments, pick up Chromebooks, get school pictures taken, and explore the building. We also look forward to the chance to spend some time with you at open house on August 26 where you will have a chance to follow your child’s schedule and meet their teachers as well. I am excited for this year and look forward to all the new opportunities it will bring!
Sincerely,
Traci L. Rea
