Principal’s Notes

Hello Thunderbolts! It is that time of year to shed the winter coats, put on short sleeves, and start to enjoy the warmer weather. As we return from Spring Break and begin the 4^th quarter of school it is time to look to the schedule for all of the academic and extracurricular activities to come. We have a lot on our calendar, including our student-faculty basketball game on April 5^th at 7 pm at Dominion HS, our spring musical Sleepy Hollow-A Musical Tale which was moved to April 8^th, 9^th, 11^th, and 12^th at 7:00 pm, and our Spring Carnival on May 31^st. We also have numerous chorus and band concerts in May and June, and I recommend that you take time to attend at least one to see what a year of practice and hard work sounds like.

Students will have SOL testing in May and Final Exams for high school credit classes June 3^rd through June 6^th. Please schedule any time off accordingly and remind your student to get plenty of rest and to start their morning off with a good breakfast to be at their best for school and testing. Keep looking at the teachers’ websites for test dates and other assignments so your student stays up to date.

Congratulations to the 8^th and 7^th grade Odyssey of the Mind teams on a job well done for placing 1st (8^th grade) and 2^nd (7^th grade) in the March 2^nd competition at Park View HS. The 8^th grade team moves on to participate in the Virginia State competition on April 13^th. We wish them the best of luck in the competition!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the parents who have volunteered their valuable time for Seneca Ridge this year. Your time, energy and hard work have certainly contributed to our school’s success. Thank you! To show our appreciation, you are invited to join us on April 25^th for a Volunteer Breakfast. Details for the time and RSVP information are on page 3. We look forward to seeing all of you here.

Finally, you are invited to the last Principal’s Coffee of the year on April 9^th at 9 am. There will be a presentation on Library Technologies and a discussion about our Advisory Group (Storm). The topics will be well worth your time, so please plan to attend.
