First Full Week. Congratulations on completing your first full week of school for the 2019-2020 school year. It can be a shocking transition from summer into the full swing of school, but the silver lining here is that we have three uninterrupted weeks of instruction to establish strong expectations for our learning environments and academic achievement. Setting this strong foundations early will make for a more successful school year.
