Welcome Back!

Here is hoping that you are rested and ready for the 2007 – 2008 school year.  Throughout the 2007 – 2008 school year we will continue to build on what we have started. 

We will maintain our focus on personalizing the learning environment so that all students receive the individualized attention necessary to help them Achieve at The Highest Standards.  We will continue moving forward with the next phases of the “Building The Future” project. 

We have also been working on improving in the areas of safety and security.  We have added security cameras to high traffic areas within the building and the parking lot.  We have been working with a safety consultant, the A.T.H.S. Safety Committee, the District 88 Safety Committee, and the Addison Police Department to review our facility, policies, procedures and practices in all areas related to student safety and security.

During the 2007 – 2008 school year we will begin the implementation of the P.B.I.S. (Positive Behavior Intervention Systems) program.  This program is designed to promote and reward positive student behaviors.  We will increase our focus on improving student attendance as well.  We will be hosting a series of Parent Meetings to address our expectations and answer questions that you may have: 

                        ·   Parents of Freshmen and Sophomores

                                    Wednesday, September 5, 2007 – 7:00 p.m. – Auditorium

                        ·   Parents of Juniors and Seniors

                                     Thursday, September 6, 2007 – 7:00 p.m. – Auditorium

With students, parents, staff, administration, and community working together toward the same goal, we will achieve great success.

           With Blazer Pride,
