Greetings from your Principal

Welcome to a brand new school year.   We are looking forward to a productive and exciting experience this school year.  A new school year presents opportunities for various beginnings – new classes, new faces, new courses, and new materials

             The mission this year is to advance the achievement of all our students through the CORE BELIEFS: Children are our business and they come first. Parents are our partners. VICTORY is in the classroom.  Continuous improvement in teaching, leadership and accountability is the key to our success and: Every member of the community shares the responsibility for successful school.  Starting a new year gives us the opportunity to make new plans, design new strategies, and implement new ideas.        

            We are proud of what we have achieved in Shugart in our classrooms, in our offices, and on our playing fields and stages. Our achievements are not due to complacency and satisfaction with the status quo. Our program is what it is because a staff of dedicated, aspiring men and women have a common goal to do what is best for students-and are always looking for ways to achieve that goal. We are a uniform school and students are expected to be in full uniform everyday. Please see information already sent for further clarification on the uniform policy.

            We are glad to have you with us this year and we want to assure you that we will do our best to help your child experience academic, social, and emotional growth. With your help and cooperation this will be an excellent school year.

Please mark your calendar to attend the “Back to School” Program. September 11, 2007 at 6:30 P.M. 

                                                                        Sincerely,

                                                                        Curtis M. Smalls, Principal

 MOVING FROM GOOD TO GREAT!
