FREDERICK, MD - Going back to school shouldn't feel
like ripping off a Band Aid for students or teachers. In fact, some
Frederick County schools say they've already held a back-to-school night
weeks ago.
Administrators say preparation for the next school year starts in December. New Crestwood Middle School administrators say it's key to talk with incoming students and stay ahead of the game.
"It's awesome," says Dr. Daniel Lippy, principal at Crestwood Middle. "It's been great. It's a new school so it's really neat to be able to stand out in front and see everybody happy coming in. Everybody's excited, everybody wants to know who i am, the introductions. It's been a very, very positive experience."
Now that schools are back in session, classrooms are engaging, cafeterias are booming and students are showing some pride.
"I just get a sense of enthusiasm," says Tom Saunders. "I get a sense of really purposeful planned activities to make kids feel welcomed. Everybody's on point."
"It's just exciting," says Debra Boyce. "It's my favorite day. Kids here are the best, they really are. I think that one of the strongest things is that they can all tell you our Crestwood motto, which is come prepared to learn, make good choices and show respect to others, yourself and property. Our kids know that and they take pride in it."
The majority of Frederick County schools are celebrating big academic gains from last year, hoping to keep their improvement scores climbing this year.
