Greetings McGlynn Middle School Nation,

I want to thank everyone for supporting me this past year. It is difficult to put into words how fortunate I feel to be the Principal of such a fine school and part of such a fabulous communityas Medford. I am so proud of our students and faculty and look forward to the future. Special thanks to Pat Buker, Ron Scala, Paula Cicoria, Sandy Hafner, Gina Leccesse and all of the staff here at McGlynn who assisted me tremendously throughout the year.

As you know, the City of Medford faces overwhelming financial challenges as we head into the 2010-2011 academic year. The good news is that we have a Mayor and Central Administration team who are committed to preserving the most crucial learning tools for our children. I am confident that we can survive these difficult times and look towards a brighter future. The situation necessitates a unified team and some very creative fund raising in order to keep our clubs and fun activities up and running. Fortunately, we have dedicated parents and faculty members ready to give it their best. Our PTO executive committee is already making plans for fun events throughout the year that will help us generate funds.

I will be at school most of the summer except for July 10-17. Please feel free to call, e-mail or stop by with questions/concerns. I have started the long process of placing students into homerooms and generating their academic schedules. Students entering grades 7 & 8 will be receiving their homeroom/team assignments in the mail within the next couple of weeks. Included with the assignment will be a form to send back to me with any parent concerns. Incoming sixth graders should be on the lookout for a grade 6 orientation evening the week before school begins. This will be an opportunity to find out your homeroom, tour the building and allow your parents to spend some time with me in the auditorium. The date of this event will be posted in the near future.

Wishing you all a fun and healthy summer,

Jake Edwards
Principal
