With much anticipation teachers readied their classrooms and attended meetings and sessions ranging from updates on the new school security system to emergency procedures. Unfortunately, with only two full teacher work days in advance of the students, a traditional convocation was not on the schedule. However, teachers did get to watch a not-so-traditional convocation dance video that encouraged them to "get up off that thang" and a video welcome message from Superintendent Dr. Anthony Jackson. The theme of Jackson's message to staff this year was "No Limits...Possibilities 2.0," and in it he thanked teachers for the work they do everyday and encouraged them to "go beyond where we have before."
