CHARTER NOTES
Monday thru Wednesday, August 13 to 15, 2007
Week 1
Welcome Back!
This year promises to be exciting as the Traditional Classroom Program
continues to grow, provides expanded learning opportunities for students,
and prepares to graduate the Class of 2008! For returning TCP students,
there are some new faces on the teaching staff as well as some minor changes
in the school. I would ask each of you, particularly the seniors, to be
a positive influence this year. This involves helping the staff maintain
a positive learning environment and taking pride in our school. In addition,
students need to remember that academic success requires hard work, perseverance,
and a positive attitude. I look forward to working closely with you this
year to ensure your continued success.—Mr. Roner, Director, TCP
