Parents,
We have mailed the individual CSAP scores to your homes. Please look for their arrival within the next few days.
On September 8, 2009, President Obama will be addressing the children on TV. Some of you have called our office asking if we will be showing the presentation and you have asked that your child not be in the room if we do show the presentation.
Only a few classrooms at AWE will be offering the children an opportunity to view the President's speech. If a child chooses not to watch the speech, the child will be sent to our media center to engage in an individual literacy activity directed by the teacher. You will be informed this week by your child's teacher if they will have the option of watching the presentation. After the viewing, there will be no discussion held in the classroom. The follow - up conversation may happen at home with parents.
Thanks for your continued involvement,
Staci McCormack, Principal

Not good enough! Kids don't want to be ostracized and go to another room when the rest of the kids sit there in the room absorbing BHO's words. Given a choice to go to Study Hall, or brainlessly watch a video, which do you think they will "choose"? DUH...

MY message to the principal is plain and simple:

"IF you show Mr. Obama's speech on Tuesday, my children and likely hundreds of other children may be sick that day. The school district will loose TENS of THOUSANDS of dollars from non-attendance. If the speech is re-broadcast at a later date without my notification, I pledge that I will do everything in my power to help elect a new school board superintendent next year.
Please let all of the parents with children at our school know of your decision by 4 pm Fri, Sept 4, or parents will assume that you intend to air Mr. Obama's speech on Tues, Sept 8."
