WELCOME TO
ODESSA-MONTOUR
Dear Parents, Guardians and Friends of the
Welcome back to the 2008-2009 school year! I would like to extend a special thank you to our staff and faculty for their outstanding preparation of classrooms and buildings. Our facility is in great shape and will welcome students in with exciting new changes in technology and in our teaching staff.
Students will return to find that all classrooms are completely outfitted as ActivClassrooms! Our ActivClassroom initiative has proven to be a powerful addition to our teaching and learning community and we look forward to increased student engagement and improved test scores as our teachers and students embrace this fantastic resource. Teachers have been training all summer in anticipation of our completion of every classroom as an ActivClassroom.
We are also very excited about the addition of new teaching staff. I am pleased to welcome Trisha Eccelston in secondary English, Katie Holtz in secondary Science and Lisa Oldroyd, Brian Foley and
We will focus our energies this year on best teaching practices. We have a very competent faculty who will reexamine their practice with an eye on modifying our teaching to best support student achievement. We as a district, will continue on in our quest to ensure that each student reaches their potential and progresses toward their goals.I ask that you join us in this quest by supporting the mission of the district through actively participating as a volunteer, by sharing your thoughts and opinions with us and by supporting your children in their academic and extracurricular activities. Together we can accomplish much for our children. As always, feel free to contact me at any time with concerns, questions or suggestions. I’ll look forward to seeing you and your families soon.
Sincerely,
James R. Frame
Superintendent of Schools
