179 more to go....

I love the first day of school! Shiny new shoes, everyone polite and on their best behavior! But what I love even more is that it is a brand new year. It is a brand new start. And we have brand new, elevated expectations for students. At todays assembly we told the students that they have the best teachers in the entire nation and that they are the best students in the entire nation.

And we really believe that. 

Our staff spent most of last week talking about our school's culture, and our expectations for students and for each other. Your child's teacher truly believes that s/he can meet or exceed our high expectations. We also believe that they ARE going to college. We no longer have the expectation set at graduating from high school. It is urgent that our students leave Selah School District prepared for higher education. That is our promise to them, and you.
