On Monday, July 24, we eagerly anticipate the return of over 4,000 students to our schools. Our dedicated staff is thrilled to welcome our students, and we are excited about the amazing achievements that they will accomplish this year under our guidance. Whether it be in the classroom, on the stage or on the athletic field, we know these achievements will continue at the local, state and national levels.
Our staff is wholeheartedly committed to providing a personalized educational experience for all our students. Teachers have been working diligently to refine and develop strategies and interventions that will ensure students’ success in a modern, student-centered learning environment. Our nationally recognized #Forward initiative serves as a framework that prepares our students to become successful and responsible citizens.
In addition to academics, we continue to enhance a variety of extracurricular experiences for our students. Over the past three years, our district has introduced the first Trap and Skeet team in the state, allowing our students to compete against their peers from around the country. We have also had great success with new activities like the e-sports and robotics teams, complementing our traditional sports and clubs, all contributing to the personalized education we offer.
We express our sincere gratitude to parents for entrusting us with their children’s education. We encourage parents to actively engage in their child’s learning journey by staying involved and reaching out to their child’s teacher or school administrator if they have any questions or concerns. We welcome parents to join their child’s school PTO or booster organization to support our vibrant school community.
As we approach the beginning of the new school year, the excitement and hope in our community is palpable. We extend a warm welcome to all returning and new students in our district. For enrollment information, visit our website at jocombs.org. Additionally, we invite community members to collaborate with us by becoming a substitute or a volunteer, and details about these opportunities can also be found on our website.
At the J.O. Combs Unified School District, our ultimate purpose is to provide the very best education to every child, every day. We eagerly look forward to fulfilling this vision during the upcoming 2023-2024 school year. Together, as a strong educational community, we look forward to unlocking the potential of each and every student.
Dr. Gregory A. Wyman is superintendent of the J.O. Combs Unified School District.
