Dear Enterprise families,

I hope that you have had a restful but productive summer.  It is an essential time to regroup and refocus with family and friends.  We are preparing for your return and are looking forward to an exciting year together. 

• Renovations are going very well and I am confident that you will be pleased with the changes.
• SOL scores were up and demonstrated that our increased focus on a rich and balanced literacy program is worthwhile and benefited other academic areas.
• Math Investigations supported our increase in 3rd grade SOL Math scores and 4th grade teachers are preparing for introduction at their grade level this year.
• Our Fitness scores increased, especially in aerobic fitness.
• More Smartboards are coming; now 2nd and 3rd grade students will have daily exposure to this tool.  Our goal is to add a grade level each year.
• We have some exciting academic plans for this year as well as after-school programs.
• A rich fine arts program will be organized during the school day.

The first day of school is Tuesday, September 2nd.  You will receive a post card the final week of August from your assigned teacher and we are planning an open house for Friday, August 29th.  Please come only at your designated time so that we can properly support the needs of each group of students coming to Enterprise.
 

OPEN HOUSE hours:

11:00am-12:00pm Kindergarten Students* and siblings
12:00pm-1:00pm Returning Families to Enterprise
1:00pm-2:00pm New Students to Enterprise

*Kindergarten students please bring your school supplies at this time.  

11:00am--Parents will leave their child(ren) with his/her new teacher in the assigned classroom and report to the school library to meet with the administration, guidance counselor and PTA president.

As a reminder, proof of residence, original birth certificates/affidavit, proof of physical examination form, verification of immunizations must be provided in order for your child to begin school September 2, 2008.  Please submit any of the missing required items no later than orientation/open house on August 29th.  Only those students whose files are complete at the end of business on August 29th will be allowed to start school on Tuesday, September 2, 2008.

We look forward to sharing a wonderful year of learning!

Sincerely,

Melanie McClure
Principal
