Hi Everyone--

 This subject really doesn't have much to do with the principal search but I put this blog entry here because I think that is where most people are checking these days.  I have received many questions regarding early dismissal and wanted to let you know what I know on this subject.  I spoke to Armando Alaniz, Executive Principal over our school, and he told me that he thought that the early dismissal program would remain in place for the fall.  He said that from his experience, it is disastrous to make schedule changes in the summer.  I'm sure the new principal will re-assess all of the programs at Briargrove upon his/her arrival and in so doing, may decide to do away with early dismissal (or he/she may not!)  Either way, I think the earliest any changes would occur would be mid-year.  I hope this clarifies the subject for those of you trying to make arrangements for fall.  Keep all the great questions coming and I will do my best to answer them in a timely fashion!!

Thanks so much and have a wonderful 4th of July!

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY USA!!!!!
