As we gear up for the start of another school year at Audubon Community School I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all new and returning students to our school and community. The 2014 - 2015 school year is shaping up to be a great one and we are pleased to have you as part of the Wheeler Family.
Although the summer seems like it has flown past the pace will only pick up between now and August 20th. Listed below are just a few upcoming events that you may want to be aware of before the first day of school.
While on-line registration is open and available through our school website, Tuesday, August 12th is our official registration day as both the elementary building and the 5 - 12 building will be open from 10:00 until 6:00 for those parents who prefer to register in person.
August 12th is also the night that incoming 9th graders and new students will receive their computers as part of our 1:1 initiative. This event starts at 6:30 in the auditorium with a presentation on the care, handling and the responsibilities that go along with having a school issued computer. All students need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian to receive a computer that night. New students will not receive a computer that night but will be able to satisfy the mandatory meeting requirement and will receive their computer the first day of school.
On Monday, August 18th we will be holding two back to school events for students. All K - 4 students and their parents are welcome to attend the Open House running from 5:00 until 6:30 at the elementary building. This will be a great time for them to meet their teacher, find their desk and explore the elementary building and grounds. We will also be hosting a 5th grader Orientation that night at the 5 - 12 building running from 6:30 until 7:15. Again, this will be a great time for 5th graders and their parents to meet their teachers, find their rooms and more importantly, figure out how to operate their locker combinations, always a stressful event for new 5th graders!
The first day of school will be on Wednesday, August 20th for students in grade K - 12. Like all Wednesdays throughout the school year, we will have an early dismissal that day with buses leaving the elementary at 2:05 and the high school at 2:15.
