We did it!
Kudos!
SPED: Thank you for your flexibility, teamwork and hands-on support with all of our new students with services. It was a challenging two day, but you pulled together and made it happen!
Office Staff: What can I say??? From endless days of registration, 12 hour days with getting students into the system, handling all of the little details for teacher lunch, snacks, materials, keys, go bags and being the front line to every parent and their needs...you rock! Your unending support of the campus is appreciated.
3rd grade: Shout out for remembering to turn in all of your parent sign in sheets from meet the teacher! Yeah!
1st year teachers: Congratulations on your first day as a teacher. We are all so proud of you. In the face of lots of unexpected challenges, you stayed strong and made our kids feel like a part of the family. It will only get easier from here. We hope you made time to enjoy your new students this week!
Congrats Ms. Delgado, our newly elected DAAC representative.
