Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome back to a new school year. One of the many things I enjoy about the teaching profession is that every year feels like a fresh start. Even after 40 years in the education profession, I still get excited about the prospects for each new school year. We will certainly have some interesting changes taking place at ISO this year. Of course the most visible change will take place when we begin construction of our new multipurpose building. This will give us much needed classroom space as well as a center for performing arts and assemblies. While I am not looking forward to the disruptions that such endeavors inevitably bring, I am confident that our students and staff will continue to do great work no matter what distractions occur.

As always, I hope you will take to time also to come by my office and talk to me about issues that affect ISO and our community.
