Tuesday Night's Connect-Ed Message

Below is the text of a Connect-Ed message that will go to all MHS families tonight at 7pm. I hope to see everyone at the Open House Thursday night!

Good evening,

This is Dr. Linkenhoker, the Principal at Monson High School. I am calling tonight to remind all families that we are having our annual Spring Open House this Thursday night, February 16th. Parents should arrive at 6:30pm. As with our Fall Open House, parents and guardians will follow their child's schedule in order to meet each teacher and learn more about individual courses, learning expectations, and grading practices. I encourage everyone to attend this very important evening event.

I must note a slight change from a recent communication. I initially planned to conduct a presentation starting at 6pm Thursday night. Due to some other events I must postpone this presentation. Please simply arrive at 6:30pm and follow our typical Open House routines. For continued information please follow my blog at www.mhsprincipalblog.blogspot.com. Take care and have a wonderful evening.

Current Events @ MHS!

Greetings! A lot is happening within the confines of MHS. I'd like to share some of the upcoming events, dates, and new ideas that make MHS great.

1. As you know, our first semester ended with the two 1/2 days on January 26th and 27th. The 2nd semester began this past Monday, January 30th. I hope all students are settling into their new schedule and are finding their courses rigorous and engaging.

2. 2nd quarter report cards will be distributed next Thursday, February 9th. I encourage all families to review the report cards and have a quality conversation including celebrating the successes and creating new goals for this second semester.

3. Our 2nd Open House is scheduled for Thursday, February 16th. I will be offering a "State of the School" presentation in the cafeteria beginning at 6pm that evening. After the presentation our traditional Open House routines will commence at 6:40pm. I remind parents and guardians that on our long-block schedule this 2nd Open House is just as important as our fall Open House. Your children have new classes and teachers and the Open House is a wonderful opportunity to build those positive relationships as we work together to have another successful semester.

Many of you received notice of this new blog update through an email reminder. As part of our continuing quest to communicate more efficiently with our families I am trying utilize to our Connect-Ed system more frequently. Most of you know Connect-Ed through our school cancellation telephone calls and my evening reminder calls. I hope this email method increases the communication between school and home.

Feel free to leave a comment or contact me with questions and suggestions!

Until next time...
