Dear Home School Parents,

I would first like to apologize for my first contact with you coming so late in the summer.
I have had a number of issues that have taken up a great deal of my first few weeks here
at Central Linn; no slight was intended.

I would like to continue the Central Linn/Home School connection. Obviously we have
had a setback in the loss of leadership in the program, complicated further by me being
on the job for all of 6 weeks. To get to the heart of parent needs, and for the district to be
able to allocate scarce resources efficiently, I think we need to get everyone who is
interested in being involved together at the same time. Next Thursday, August 18th, at the
Central Linn School District office at 6pm seemed to be the best option. I am seeking an
open and constructive conversation to see if we can put together a viable and enriching
program for the 2011-12 school year. Everyone with interest is encouraged to attend.

Thank you for your time and commitment to children,

Brian Gardner
Superintendent
CENTRAL LINN SCHOOL DISTRICT

They say all good things come to an end......
It is with sad hearts that we say that there will not be Monday classes at Central Linn District Office this school year. Dana has resigned, as well as Felicia. It is time to pursue other things with their own children, and the time and season for this has come to a close.
Jennifer Ewing will still be doing home school supplemental teaching and online classes. Please get with her if you are still interested. The district office number can be found on the side information bar.
We would like to thank those that supported us all these years, who faithfully pitched in where they could, gave what they had, and stood behind us these last 8 years. Thanks also to Mr. Ed Curtis who faithfully supported our program, helped us to make it what it was, and always was working for better education for the kids. We wish him well in his Second Retirement!

Shawnna and Dana are still around, and still willing to chat with you about homeschool if you'd like some direction, or just want to say hi! Shawnna 541-619-5834 Dana 541-367-6413
