A LETTER OF WELCOME FROM THE PRINCIPAL Dear
Parents, Welcome
to the 2010-2011 school year. We are
proud that you have chosen to attend Ralph Askins
School. The administration and staff are committed to reaching all students
in our building by teaching them to believe in themselves and do their best
at all times. Ralph
Askins School is a community school with a rich
heritage. It was originally known as
Charlie Bagley School and opened its doors to serve this community in the
fall of 1958. I was a second grader at
that time and was part of the first group of students to attend this school. 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 findings, and in
all areas, gave us the highest rating possible –“exemplary”. This has been an exciting and busy summer as
we prepared for an influx of many new students coming to us from the county school
system. I am proud of the outstanding staff we have assembled to work with
the children attending Ralph Askins. 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, school
nurse, 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 school year.
Please feel free to contact me by phone at school (433-5311 or
433-4319) or come by to visit me in the office. Sincerely, Joel
M. Hastings |
