There will be three new classroom teachers, a new art teacher and a new school psychologist. A new math curriculum, Trailblazers, will, as Hale describes it, challenge students to discover the connections between what they learn in school and what they experience in everyday life. Each student will have a new Take Home Tuesday folder.New math books will also greet students, the halls and walls are being scrubbed, class lists are being finalized and the latest edition of the parent handbook is being printed in anticipation of the 500 students arriving on Sept. 6.
