Greetings,
As our school year winds down, I would like to take a moment and let eveyone know about some upcoming events. Mr. Willie's Jr. High music students will be entertaining our community on May 19th and 20th. Please plan on coming and enjoying the talents of our students. It has been exciting to have Mr. Willie as a part of our staff this year. He has done an outstanding job.
May 21-23, our track athletes will be in Casper representing our school at the state track tournament. Coach Teichert and Coach Toomer have once again done a great job of preparing our students for this competition. I am sure that our students will make us very proud.
May 28 is our CHS graduation. It has been a pleasure working with this fine Senior class. They will be missed. I wish them luck in their respective futures.
On May 29th, we will be departing with our Junior and Senior classes for Washington D.C. I am very excited about sharing this opportunity with them.
Also, please be aware that the 29th will be the last day of school. Students will be released from CHS at 10:15 am and from CES at 10:30 am.
Finally, I hope that everyone has a safe and enjoyable summer break. I along with many of our staff members, are scheduled to attend numerous conferences this summer. I look forward to implementing the lessons that we will learn next year. Until then, best regards.

Greetings,
I wanted to take a moment and update everyone on a few exciting happenings that are coming up. First, I want to extend an invitation to everyone to come and participate in our 2nd annual “Principal Chat.” The principal chat is simply an open forum where I meet with the public and listen to any comments, questions or concerns that you might have. This year’s chat is scheduled for Wednesday, April 15th at 6:45 pm. (Just prior to the music concert.) Please plan on attending, enjoying some cookies, and sharing your insights.
As you may have heard, our Elementary students have met their reading goal for the year. This is a great accomplishment. Because of this accomplishment, we are excited to announce that we will be bussing all of our students to Provo canyon to take a ride on the Heber Valley Railroad. (Heber Creeper) This big event will take place on April 30th. In order to get there on time, we will need to leave the school at 7:45 am. We ask for your assistance in making sure that your children are at the school prior to 7:45 on that day.
Another big event that is coming up is a trip to Washington D.C. for our 11th and 12th grade students. I am very excited about wonderful experience that this promises to be for these students. The students are scheduled to depart on May 29th and return on June 2nd (11 grade) and June 3rd (12th grade.) Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Thank-you for your interest in, and your continued support of, our schools.

Hello all,
Thank you for taking the time to check in. I know that everyone is very busy. Life has been busy in our schools as well.

I would like to thank all of you who have cooperated so well with our schools in making our testing experience a success. I appreciate those students who gave their best effort on the many tests that they were asked to take. I know that it has been a long process.
As we look forward to April, there are many activities scheduled. Please take a moment to check our website at www.cokeville.com for a calendar of events.
As always, thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to post a comment on this site or contact me directly. I am very happy to discuss any topic of concern that you might have.

Greetings from your Cokeville Schools,
What an exciting time to be a Panther. Our CHS students are preparing to represent our school at the District and State levels in numerous athletic and academic areas. Our Jr. High students are finishing up very successful athletic seasons as well. On Feb. 18th and 25th, our CES and CJHS students will be participating in the District spelling bee in Star Valley. I am very appreciative of the dedicated teachers and coaches who work so hard to provide quality programs and experiences for our students.
For your long term planning convenience, we have posted the 2009-10 school calendar on our website. If you would like to access next years calendar, go to www.cokeville.com and click on the 2009-10 calendar quick link.
I hope all of you have had the opportunity to watch the “Principal Chat” on Channel 39. I was very impressed with the quality of questions that the students came up with, the interview skills demonstrated by Kebra, and the quality of the production by Mr. Thompson’s students. I plan on conducting similar interviews in the future. If you have any questions that you would like me to address in future broadcasts, please submit them to Mr. Thompson or me. Hopefully we can use this format to improve our communication with all of you.

Greetings from your Cokeville Schools,
I can't believe that February is here. Time sure does fly when you are having fun!!
January was a busy month. I am very proud of our 3 students (Megan Cook, Derrick Moody, and Andrew Petersen) who represented our school at the State Honor Choir. We truly are blessed with the finest students.
Recently I returned from a trip to Washington D.C. where I attended the Model School Symposium with Mrs. Rigby, Mr. Warner, and Mr. Hatch. It was great to rub shoulders with educators from the highest performing schools in the nation. It was also great knowing that though we are small in size, our Cokeville schools provide our students with as good of an education as they would receive anywhere.
As always, February promises to be a busy month. The Jr. and Sr. High winter athletics will all be wrapping up heir respective seasons this month. I am sure that our community will be well represented. I would like to offer a heartfelt thank you to our coaches and A.D. for all of the time that they put in on behalf of our children.
As always, thank you for your interest in our schools. Please know that I will be doing my best to play my part in fulfilling our mission of "Making Everyone Better For Life."

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
I hope that all of you enjoyed your holiday as much as I did. I love the opportunity that each new year brings to set goals for myself. This new year is no exception. With any luck, I will be a better person in 2009.
Here are a couple of items of interest for you that are coming up in January. The end of the 1st semester for CHS is January 13th. Please encourage your students to work with their respective teachers to ensure that their grades are where they want them to be.
On Thursday, January 8th, we will be hosting School Board meeting in the CHS library. Please feel free to attend and watch our elected officials at work. Feel free to contact me if you would like a copy of the agenda in advance.
We will be administering the MAP assessment to all 1st-10th grade students beginning on January 12th. The MAP assessment measures how our students are doing in the areas of Math, Reading, and Language Arts. It generally takes us about 2 weeks to get everyone assessed. We use the results of this assessment to identify areas where our students collectively, or individually, may be struggling. If you are interested in your child's results, please feel free to contact me.
With any luck, we might get some snow and begin our winter sports program. The program is scheduled to start January 9th. We will keep you updated as information becomes available to us. If any of you know any good snow dances, let 'em rip!
