Teachers report on Monday (Aug. 31) for the first of three preparation days this week. We have invited all county teachers to our professional development on Tuesday at the Lexington Music Theater. In the past, this has been held in Sandusky. I thought it would be nice to have nearly 400 teachers (most probably haven't been in the theater) in downtown Lexington, promoting our businesses and introducing the city to the entire county's education community.
The buildings are looking great and are ready for our teachers and students. Pioneer Stadium looked great Friday night (thanks grounds crew) for our football opener. The new lights cover every inch of the stadium. We used a temporary sound system. The speakers should be mounted this week on the new light poles. Over the next 2-3 weeks security lights will be mounted about 30 feet up on the poles and our new home bleachers will arrive...hopefully in time for our homecoming game on October 9.
Our maintenance and grounds staff will complete the work on the Meyer playground this week. The other project, replacement of our high school gym roof, will also be completed this week in time for the start of school. The roof was ripped off by a huge wind storm last winter and the replacement is covered by our insurance.
Buildings will be open this week through Thursday and closed Friday through Monday for Labor Day weekend. Check our district website for the list of Open Houses for each school. This is a great opportunity to see the school, its classrooms, and to meet administrative staff and teachers.
We are extremely proud of our school district and we appreciate those of you who have spread the word about the great things we're doing for our students. If you've got friends or relatives who live in a neighboring district looking for a terrific education for their kids, have them enroll through "school of choice."
We look forward to the arrival of the students on Tuesday, September 8! As always, if you have questions/comments, please email me at kmiller@croslex.org
Sincerely,
Kevin D. Miller, Ph.D.
Cros-Lex Superintendent
