The superintendent announced that Aug. 4 is the first day of school and urged parents and guardians to make sure every student is in the building on that date.
The superintendent said, “We are days away from day 1 of school, and I cannot wait for all of our students to come back ready to learn, ready to behave, ready to get their absolute best. So listen to me carefully.” The official repeated the date, saying, “August 4 is day 1. I need you to do everything that's possible to get your child ready for day 1. I want every single student in our building day 1.”
The announcement was presented as guidance and encouragement rather than a policy vote or new rule. The superintendent framed the message as a districtwide expectation for attendance on the first day and asked families to prepare as needed. The remarks did not identify a specific school district office, provide contact information, specify attendance enforcement measures, or state whom to contact with questions.
Mark your calendars: the superintendent closed by saying, “Mark your calendars. August 4, it's time to come back to school.”
