Dear Parents,
There have been some questions about how the Paragon Celebrations will be organized this year. Based upon feedback from staff and parents concerning levels of participation at Paragon Nights from last year, we are modifying what we are doing this year. Whether Paragon Celebrations are held during the day or in the evening, they will, no doubt, not meet everyone’s schedule. So we will over the course of the year host both day and evening celebrations.
Our first Paragon Celebration Day will be September 15th. Thank you for your flexibility and cooperation as we strive to find “the perfect balance” that will work for everyone during this important part of our student’s educational and artistic development. The “bigger picture” for having Paragon Celebration Day is the vital opportunity for all students to be able to participate within their classroom performances and not miss out. Having worked so hard on their classroom presentation, it is difficult to see their disappointment next day, knowing they missed out because their parent’s were not available to attend Paragon Night. Having it during the day this time at least insures that all students are available to perform. Again, thank you for your understanding. This is a process that we are working through!
Sincerely,
Joe Torrez, CAO
