Weekly Update 7/21/2012


Construction continues on both the technology lab and the daycare. Paint should be done in the daycare early next week with floor and ceiling to follow after.  We decided to take down a wall in between the two areas of the technology lab.  This has always been part of the plan, but we were concerned about the size and scope of the projects we have taken on this summer.   After some discussion it was the best choice to move forward with removing the wall and it really opens up the area.

I took a trip up to state softball in Fort Dodge this week to watch the Knights compete.  While the result wasn’t what our players and fans wanted, I really felt the team showed a lot of heart and fought all the way to the end.  Congrats to both our softball and baseball teams on successful seasons.

Bridget Murphy and I have met on several occasions as she hits the ground running as principal.  She brings new and creative ideas to the position and is very comfortable in this leadership role.  Currently, she is working on the master schedule and hiring a new teacher in math on top of all of the little details that accompany the principal’s position.  I truly feel that all of us who have had a chance to work with Bridget in the first week have been impressed with her dedication to making Assumption the best school it can be.

We have been dealing with some phone issues this week.  Part of it has been the switch over from digital to analog lines.  The other part has been technical issues outside of our control.   We have been working with Mediacom on this issue and hope to have the problem fixed by Monday.

The finance committee met Friday morning to go over end of the year financials.  We had a successful year financially and are once again able to save a little bit of money for future projects.  Much of the discussion centered on what the projects are that we will need to look at in the next several years.

Next week I will be meeting with individuals from the City with regard to markings on West Central Park Ave.  I have heard a lot of rumors about what the plans are and look forward to learning more about the real plans.  Hopefully lines will be painted soon as traffic will increase the closer we get to the start of the school year.
