Staff Update
Joann Jeffrey's recovery from her surgery is going very well. She plans to return on April 1st and she is really excited to get back to her students and her team.
The district will post all of the open positions that have not been staff through the staffing process on March 18th. We will begin interviews shortly after break for the two open positions in our building. We will interview for the open sped para position after break as well.
As of now we will also be hiring for a para for our ECSE room. We will look to fill that position later in the school year since it won't begin until next year.
