Good evening I am ____________________ , Assistant Principal. I am speaking to you as Mr. Albrecht is greeting the ninth grade parents. You have already met him so he has sent us to speak with you. I am thrilled to have all students with us and as you know high school is perhaps the most important transition phase of our lives.
We will be sharing a lot of information and several important dates. We have broken you up by grade level so we can tailor information to each grade level. These presentations will be made available to you through the KR website.
