A Special Thank You from the Director of Student Services

As we are nearing the end of an adventure-filled school year, I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude to each of our schools' MTSS/PBIS teams. This year has been full of many challenges with ever-changing rules and routines. I am continually impressed with our school's dedication to creating safe and connected school communities for our students, families, and staff. The creativity and diligence that have occurred this school year are nothing short of incredible. Thank you to all of you for your hard work and commitment to our students. I wish you all a wonderful summer and hope you each have time to rest and recharge.

Did you know we have a District Level MTSS Team?

Just as our school-based PBIS/MTSS teams meet at least monthly, so too does the district level team. This team analyzes data and practices at a system level and plans for school-based needs. Just as each school creates an Action Plan, so too does the District Level Team. Part of next year's Action Plan is to work on communication and talking more about what that team does. More to come! Stay tuned!

Thank you for all your hard work! You made a difference in lives of your students and community. Have a wonderful summer!
