Monday Memo Musings

Jody Carrington says watch your people. Watch for signs that they are not themselves. When that normally kind, caring gal/guy says things like, " Well, they can just die then."

That will affect our numbers however, this move is righting ourselves.  We know that there are going to be many questions going forward. We know that. We know that parents are undecided and are seeking information to make a choice. We know that dual students will be back this year, more so in La Crete. Kids are signing up with us for a quad then going back to LCPS for a quad then coming back. We know that. Our kids are free to sign up for courses as well. We know that.
