Delay of Open House

23 October 2009

We did not offer an official "Open House" as we have done in the past at the beginning of school. Due to construction, we have decided to host our open house later in the year when the building is complete. Parking is at best, very limited, and because the construction site is so large, for safety reasons, we would not be able to have so many people on site at one time. We are very proud of our new construction and want to include the community for a "grand opening" in December or January. You are more than welcome to come in anytime to visit your child's classroom and teacher.

Please, remember that conferences will be held on the 16th,17th, and 18th of November. Also please note, the 16th of November has recently changed on our calendar to a half day to accomodate conferences.

NASA Picture of the Day

  • Snapshot of the International Space Station
  • On March 13, 2008, the International Space Station passed across the field-of-view of Germany's remote sensing satellite, TerraSAR-X, at a distance of 195 kilometers, or 122 miles, and at a relative speed of 34,540 kilometers per hour, or more than 22,000 mph. In contrast to optical cameras, radar does not 'see' surfaces. Instead, it is much more aware of the edges and corners which bounce back the microwave signal it transmits. Smooth surfaces such as those on the station's solar generators or the radiator panels used to dissipate excess heat, unless directly facing the radar antenna, tend to deflect rather than reflect the radar beam, causing these features to appear on the radar image as dark areas. The radar image of the station therefore looks like a dense collection of bright spots from which the outlines of the space station can be clearly identified. The central element on the station, to which all the modules are docked, has a grid structure that presents a multiplicity of reflecting surfaces to the radar beam, making it readily identifiable. This image has a resolution of about one meter (about 39 inches). In other words, objects can be depicted as discrete units--that is, shown separately--provided that they are at least one meter apart. If they are closer together than that, they tend to merge into a single block on a radar image. Since this image as taken, the station has expanded and is more than 90 percent complete, including a full complement of solar arrays. Image Credit: DLR
