Dear
Parents, We anticipate another wonderful year for our students as we
begin our 2008-2009 school year. We are proud that you have chosen to attend
Ralph Askins School. The administration and staff are committed to reaching
all students by teaching them to believe in themselves and do their best at
all times. Ralph Askins School is a community school with a rich
tradition and heritage. It was originally known as Charlie Bagley School and
opened its doors to serve this community in the fall of 1958. This will be the fiftieth anniversary of
our school this year. I am proud of
the fact that I was a second grader fifty years ago when the doors of the new
school were opened in October of 1958. In May of 2006 we completed our five-year study for the
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools/Council on Accreditation and
School Improvement. Our visiting team had no finding, and in all areas, gave us
the highest rating possible – “exemplary”. I am proud of the outstanding staff we have assembled to work
with the children attending Ralph Askins School. It takes all adults in a
school working together to create a positive climate for children and, I believe,
we are blessed with our cooks, custodians, paraprofessionals, teachers, and a
secretary who work in unison daily to create this type of environment. I encourage you to take an active role in your child’s
education. With a “school triangle” connecting parents, children, and
teachers we have a greater chance of ensuring success for these children. We
have an active PTO. I encourage your involvement in this organization as
well. Best wishes for a productive year. Please feel free to contact
me by phone at school (433-5311) or come by to visit me in my office. Sincerely,
Joel
M. Hastings, Principal |
