Good Morning

Today is the day. Students are comng back to school. It is just a short day today. We will do schedules and run through an abbreviated day. I am looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Getting Close!

Less than a week from now we all be back in school. This is one of my favorite times of year. Students start rolling in again for practice, check schedules, or just to visit. This last week has been great as far the weather is concerned as well. Lets hope it continues. We have made a couple of improvements over the summer that I hope will be well received. We have also done some painting and touch-up work around the building. We have a new student recognition program that we will roll out in September as well. Football, soccer, and volleyball are all in full swing, as is golf, swimming, marching band, flags, cross country, and cheerleading. School officially statrts Friday - but many students started last week. I am looking forward to everyone's return and hope you will all make it on Friday.

Registration At CIS For ALL Today.

Today is registration. We will be holding an all district registration at CIS. We are trying to save parents some driving and provide a comfortable environment for everyone. It may get a little congested at times, so please be patient as we try to improve the new plan as we go. I am looking forward to seeing familiar faces today and tomorrow. 

Working at Springfield Sharefest at Harvard Park Elementary School.

Mr Szoke, Adam, and I worked at the Harvard Park Elementary School - Extreme School Makeover. Quite a rewarding evening. The school was filled with volunteers. All joined in improving the learning environment for students in a building with 98% poverty rate. We are pictured with Principal Kim. Kim and many of her staff were on site tonight as well. We painted much of the second floor main hallway. Check out how you can help if you are interested. I know other Athens residents are signed up to work throughout the week.

Congratulations Mrs. Henrikson!

I just want to say congratulations to our School Nurse, Linda (Ary) Henrikson on her wedding today. Linda married Erick at New Life Baptist Church today at 4PM. Congrats on a beautiful ceremony and a wish for happiness in the future.

Welcome Our New A.D.

Mr. Tim Isringhausen has been selected to replace Chip Jamerson as our new Athletic Director. Tim has been in the district for several years now - most recently serving as a 5th grade teacher. Tim has big shoes to fill. Chip also served as our unofficial local sports historian and brought technology to the athletic department. Tim will do a great job, I am sure of it. Make sure you say "hello" to Tim at one of our many many sporting events.

COMING FAST.

It is hard to believe that registration is right around the corner. Next Wednesday and Thursday are our 2011-2012 registration dates. We will all be @ CIS. This change was made to accommodate parents with kids in multiple schools and to take advantage of the air conditioning available at CIS. Looking forward to seeing familiar faces as well as a few new ones next week.
