Middle School October Calendar
From Mr. Kissinger……..
Dear Parents,
What is going on here in Williamson? This is my eighteenth year in
public education and I have never experienced such a positive and
productive start of a school year! Throughout the day teachers are
teaching, students are on task and community support is strong.
Last year I suggested that this time of year is a good time to work
with your child on organizational skills. Start by cleaning out book
bags and putting all loose papers in the appropriate binders. Create a
folder at home for papers that your child will need later for
cumulative tests. You may want to create an additional folder for
yourself where you can put art projects, completed reports and tests to
look at years later. This is great stuff to bring back out at college
graduations and weddings!
I look forward to seeing you at the parent teacher conferences this
month and on behalf of the staff I wish you a happy and safe new
year.
Sincerely yours,
Russell Kissinger
Middle School Principal
