Subject: [MVHS-NEWS] Metea Update
Hi, hope things are well - I have written a brief update that I will provide on a monthly basis to assist communication, enjoy the month of August!
Mustang Community Members:
I hope late July and early August allow you some time for family traditions, following a summer of activities and “projects” that never seem to end or get completed! I rode my bicycle to the Metea High School site yesterday after work and could not help but smile at the vastness of the property and the endless opportunities and challenges that await us in the very near future. As I look daily at the plans on my office walls and visit with the many individuals who touch this process in some fashion, I am humbled and energized by the opportunity to build curriculum, culture, climate, and community for Metea Valley Mustangs!
I am pleased to report that the building timeline is moving according to schedule with plans to open in the fall of 2009 as a freshman and sophomore campus.
I have spent my time with architectural and design decisions, staffing/enrollment discussions, budget options, and FF & E (Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment) – so many things to bid, discuss, and purchase. I have also worked on the initial planning of our mission/value statements, met with principals who have recently opened high school buildings, and fun “stuff” like discussing logos, fight songs, and promotional approaches to building excitement about the opening of Metea Valley.
My next communication in August will detail specific information and timelines about staffing, student and parent meetings, parent organizations, building updates, and other items of interest.
I look forward to working with the Mustang community as we build on the foundation of excellence established in Indian Prairie District 204. Go Mustangs!!
