Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope you and your family had a restful and enjoyable summer. As we are preparing to welcome students back for another exciting school year at Carlisle Junior High, I wanted to take a moment to share how truly excited I am about what lies ahead.

This year, we are placing a strong focus on raising academic expectations and supporting all students in reaching their full potential. We’re committed to building on last year’s momentum and are proud to report that many of our students showed growth in the classroom, reflecting the hard work of our students and staff. With renewed energy and purpose, we look forward to taking that success even further.

At Carlisle Junior High, we are deeply committed to supporting the mental health and well-being of all our students. We understand that academic success goes hand-in-hand with emotional and social wellness. Our school provides access to caring counselors, mental health professionals, and support staff who are available to help students navigate challenges, build resilience, and develop healthy coping strategies. We also offer small-group sessions, one-on-one support, and partnerships with local agencies to ensure every student has the resources they need. If you ever have concerns about your child’s emotional health, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we are here to help.

The energy in our building is already electric. Our teachers and staff have been preparing engaging lessons, fresh ideas, and new ways to support your child both academically and socially. This is going to be a great year—and we’re thrilled to have you as our partners in education.

As we begin this new chapter, we will continue to encourage our students to be:

·         Responsible in their actions and choices

·         Respectable in how they treat others

·         And always Safe, both in and out of the classroom

Thank you for your continued support. We can’t wait to see the incredible things our students will achieve this year!
