...and away we go!

Well, we have completed our first full week of school, and we are off and running. We are all looking forward to a great 2011-2012. The Wildcats pulled out a victory last Friday, and we are prepared for a  great season of football. I hope that you will all come out and support our Wildcats when you have the opportunity. I always find it great to watch our boys and girls mature into young men and women over the years, and I am proud of the support that the Harleton community gives to our students.

We thank you for allowing us to be a part of your child's life. We realize that it takes all of us working together to ensure that our children are successful.

What's Going On?

As you can tell there have been a lot of changes taking place at Harleton ISD over the summer months. We are very proud of these projects and hope that you will take pride in them as well. Our students deserve the very best, and we are working hard to give them the very best. I want to thank each of you for your support and encouragement for the district and our students. It takes all of us working together to make all of our students successful.

Please visit our new website. It is currently under construction so we may not have everything in place at the moment, but we will soon have everything up and running. I think this will be a great asset for our parents, students, staff, and community members.

Also, please take a moment to read an article that I wrote concerning school finance and what it means for Harleton ISD. I have tried to give you some information about the cuts that were imposed by the 82nd Legislature in the form of a Frequently Asked Questions document. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions or concerns.

We are looking forward to a great year!

Schools About to Begin!

I can feel the anticipation in the air, parents are singing "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," and teachers and school employees are frantic. It must be about time for school to begin.

It's not long now. The first day for students will be August 22. We are looking forward to a new school year and all of the activities and fun that comes with starting a new year. I hope you will take a few moments to visit our school and become an active participant in our school events. It takes all of us working together to ensure that our children reach their fullest potentials.
