Back to school night for junior and senior’s parents was held on Thursday, Sept. 18, with an opening from Principal John Dodig in which he emphasized the coming events for each class, and the opportunities Staples offers them.

Among these were the Rotary Club study abroad opportunities with, the Senior Internship program, and the many classes the school offered. He spoke of Staples as being an environment in which students can grow and develop, under the watch of good teachers.
He also urged parents to join the PTA, which will get them a copy of the student directory, raised money for the new Smartboards, and most importantly, gives scholarships to students who need help paying for college.

After Dodig’s opening, parents went to each of their children’s classes, spending 10 minutes in each. Teachers presented course material, but some also organized a fun activity for parents relating to their class. Michael Lazaroff, for instance, had a murder scene demonstration the parents of his forensics class.
