Principal's Message

Dear Parents,

The 2008-2009 school year has started with a high level of energy shared by students and staff at Horner Jr. High. It was great to see parents/guardians at our back to school night. Our teachers are enjoying their classes and have prepared excellent standards-based lessons.

In September, Ms. Renoir met with all of our students to review the school rules and expected behaviors at all school functions. Please review with your student the policies and rules in their assignment book.

Keeping Horner safe is a top priority of our staff. We have many students who are dropped off and picked up each day by their parents or guardians. If you drive your student to school, I would suggest dropping them off near the school on Irvington Blvd or Carol Street. Do not stop in the middle of the street to unload/load your student, and observe signs posted at the entrance of the staff parking area.

Lastly I would like to share the great news that our API score increased 18 points to 863. Everyone involved at Horner should be extremely proud of that accomplishment. If you would like to look at the scores you can go to http://www.cde.ca.gov/ayp

I look forward to another great year as principal and working with the students, staff and community of Horner Jr. High School.


Sincerely,



Greg Bailey
