Back to School!
Good Morning Everyone,
We are a little more than a week from going back to school and getting back into the swing of things. Once again, as you come back to Ed White you will see many new faces in the hallways, classrooms and offices. I wanted to welcome new Principal, Mr. Eric Paul, who shares our high expectations for the IB Program as we continue to grow in the right direction. Also, we are bringing it about 20 new freshman, five new sophomores and one new Junior!
Another change that you will find is in my position as IB Coordinator. We have adjusted my teaching schedule in a way where I will be able to have EVERY B-Day as an office day; allowing me to better serve the needs of our students, families and faculty!
Hope Everyone is looking forward to another great year!

Rising Juniors - CAS Projects
Attention Rising Juniors and Parents,
I have received a few emails from students wanting to start their CAS (Creativity, Action and Service) Activities and Projects over the Summer. Unfortunately, IB does not recognize and activities/projects prior to the beginning of the Junior Year (August 18, 2014). Therefore any work that you do over the summer may qualify for Bright Futures, but it will not count towards your CAS Outcomes.
Here are some suggestions that I have for your over the Summer for those that are itching to get started:
1. Brainstorm a List of activities that you think you might want to participate in.
2. Research those activities on a local level (Contacts, Areas of town, Opportunities to Volunteer, Etc.)
3. Create a master list of ideas that you think we work for CAS .
4. Wait til August 18th to get things started.
Parents: We will have a Junior CAS Meeting once we return to school (September/October) so that you and your students will be able to get all of the pertinent information that you will need to stay on top of these experiential learning opportunities over the next two years. This way Mrs. Curran and I are not the only ones pushing your child to be diligent in tracking and maintaining their CAS Activities/Projects.
Thanks for your Patience!
