Show Transcript

good morning today is August 13th is Tuesday it is extremely muggy outside is the first real dog day of the summer that I can remember and I guess that we just should expect that our teacher so are in the building and they're getting their classrooms already down at the high school which is where I am right now they're hard at work I'm going through some orientation and through some discussions and they're probably going to have to leave the building and just a little bit and go find a app Solera lights because we're going to have to cut the power off for part of the day because of the construction that's going on we're making every effort that we can to make sure that we don't impact the day-to-day life of students when they come back to school which by what day is next Monday August 19th and I want to make sure that you know that that is a half day for students bus also run a regular time in the morning but will cut School loose somewhere around 11:30 from the elementary schools and will adjust of the bus times accordingly so that the students are getting home to you somewhere and noon 12:30 hour just remember please it's a half a day for students and then next Tuesday on the 20th it will be our first full day of class for all the students and we are so I am so looking forward to that happening we have a lot of things that have come together since then or since the last time that I've I've been speaking with you I think I mentioned that to her we're working on parking down to the bottom of the of the high school that parking is finished and it's ready for students and it'll be ready for you actually this Thursday because this Thursday at the high school there is an open house it starts at 4:30 and it runs until 7 p.m. now if you are a high school student or the parent of a high school I would advise that you go to the high school website and or perhaps look at their Facebook posting because if I'm not mistaken they're going to be different times for class meetings that evening as well I don't know what those times are but I'm pretty sure that they somewhere or on the Internet also there's going to be open house this Thursday at the middle school from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. now that really is just to kind of get Orion to get your schedules and things like that there is another open house that's going to be more academic at the middle school in a week or two to make sure you're paying attention to their social media their web page so that you'll know to be part of that as well and West Elementary is Thursday night and it is from 1 until 6 p.m. then on Friday night is East Elementary they also start at 1 but it runs to 7 p.m. make sure you're one of those volleyball will be playing this week and they scrimmage at Cherokee on Friday that's the 16th and that's at 3:30 for both JV and varsity teams and then don't forget that the JV football opener is on September 19th but it and it's against Rosman now speaking of football there's a scrimmage open her here this Friday night it starts at 7 it's against the Mountain Heritage sure would love to see you here on Friday night at 7 now and the reason I'm up here at the football field again is because I want you to notice that I'm standing on some fresh gravel and what we came away with after some conversation is we might not have enough space for handicap parking just using the area back behind the Multipurpose Building where you might see that to that trackhoe working and you'll see that's that guy is there working because we're opening this area so we'll have a little bit more space as well and that'll all be ready if everything goes according to plan by Friday night but we usually have somewhere between 40 and 50 people with handicap stickers that comes our ball games and we want to make sure that we have a place where folks can can travel can walk what however they need to be mobile to get into the into the football game and and be safe now I need to ask you to think about a couple of things there are different levels of Mobility for a folks who have the cat stickers and we want to try and and help all of you those with the most significant handicap needs I prefer that you park over behind the Multipurpose Building because it's paved it would be a little easier access those of us who maybe a little bit more mobile but still have a sticker like that I would I would encourage you to park over here somewhere it's still going to be compacted and be safe for you I just I just want us to work together and please just take care of each other and you know that's same that I have running through my mind right now but Swain County Schools we're at a point in time right now where we just got to take care of each other there's a lot of stuff going on in government and there's a lot of stuff going on around us and it seems to be so confusing and sometimes it's discouraging but am I senior superintendent help us take care of each other help us take care of our kids are their most precious resource that's what I'm dedicated to that's what our staff is dedicated to and if I can encourage you to do that it would just dump it would help everybody out so thank you for being our family and thank you for listening to that you're going to see another message this week is going to come through the maroon devil Network and
