It was great to see you!
Although I didn't get to speak with all of you, it sure was great to see all of you back at school for Open House. I was really excited to see our kids. They are the reason we do what we do every day, and we thank you for sharing them with us. School starts on Tuesday morning and we are ready to have the kids back. Here's to a great 2019-2020 school year!
Flipgrid introductions
In order to try to introduce our staff to you, we have shared a little bit about ourselves in 30-second increments in the flipgrid video found below. This will also be a link on my webpage and will be shared again next week as well as the first week of school. If the link below doesn't work for you, please click on this link.
