Greetings, I am excited about this journey we are about to embark upon.  In order to truly bring our school to the forefront of education, there must be a focus on academic excellence and excellence in everything that we do.

It is a pleasure to welcome our new teachers to the Commander family and welcome back our experienced faculty and staff.  I hope you have taken time over the summer break to relax, recharge, and consider the wonderful opportunities this school year will bring. Also, parents and stakeholders, I am ecstatic about the achievement you are about to experience as we work in alliance to ensure the success of each student.  

In pursuit of excellence, it is time to BOLDLY GO WHERE EDWARD WHITE HAS NEVER GONE BEFORE!  This year, I anticipate that we will be very successful and move our students to performance levels that commensurate with the level of  the quality  of instruction that is present in our school. I believe that we will turn ordinary into “extraordinary,” and we will become dream makers for our children.

As we BOLDLY GO WHERE EDWARD WHITE HAS NEVER GONE BEFORE, we will continue to foster a spirit of community and life long learning for all.  I look forward to working with each and every one of you with the following in mind:

                  ***** Priorities for 2009-2010*****

         *Stronger academic focus on reading and literacy

         *Implementation of new strategies and procedures

         * Continue to develop an atmosphere of high
            expectations       

          * Continue to develop stronger learning communities

Sincerely,

Jackie Simmons, Jr.

Principal
