Principal's Message

As we step into the month of September, I want to extend a warm welcome back to school after a well-deserved summer break. I hope you had the chance to recharge, spend quality time with family and friends, and return with renewed energy for the exciting academic year ahead.

 

September marks the beginning of a new chapter at our school, and we have some exciting plans in store. ASB has several pep assemblies scheduled as well as some fun activities at our home events.  Our Homecoming festivities are just around the corner, scheduled for October 2-6, with the dance scheduled for the night of October 7. It's a time when we come together as a school community to celebrate our school spirit, traditions, and unity. Let's get ready for a week of spirited activities, the Homecoming game versus the Ashland Grizzlies, and the memorable Homecoming dance. It's an event that embodies the true essence of our school, and I look forward to seeing you all there.

 

This academic year, we have set ambitious goals to enhance the overall educational experience for our students. Our primary focus will be on three key areas:

 

1. Improving Organization Skills: We believe that strong organizational skills are the foundation for success in both academics and life. To support our students in this area, we will be providing resources and workshops throughout the year to help develop effective time management, study habits, and organizational techniques.

 

2. Enhancing Overall Attendance: Regular school attendance is crucial for academic achievement. We will be working closely with parents and students to ensure that students attend school regularly and are engaged in their learning. We believe that when students are present and engaged, they have the opportunity to excel academically and personally.

 

3. Increasing Academic Rigor: To prepare our students for the challenges of the future, we will be raising the bar when it comes to the rigor of our courses. We believe that setting high expectations and providing rigorous coursework will not only challenge our students but also empower them to reach their full potential. Our dedicated teachers are committed to providing the support and guidance needed to succeed in these enriched learning environments.

 

As we embark on this journey together, it is important to remember that success is a collaborative effort. Students, parents, teachers, and the entire school community play integral roles in achieving our goals. Let us communicate openly, work together, and support one another in our pursuit of excellence.

 

I am confident that the 2023-2024 academic year will be a rewarding and transformative experience for all of us. Let's embrace the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead with enthusiasm and determination. Together, we can achieve greatness.

 

I look forward to a successful and productive school year. Please feel free to reach out to me or our dedicated staff if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions. Your input is invaluable to us.

 

Thank you for being a part of our wonderful school community.
