Smoke Signals: Staff Edition
July 17-21, 2017
From the Principal
It looks like everyone is having a great summer. I am loving seeing all of your vacation photos on Facebook and Twitter! My family is back in town after 2 great weeks on the road. There's just something about a long road trip that does my soul well. Road trips give me lots of time to think and get rejuvenated for the upcoming school year.
Our last two staff members were hired at the July 10 board meeting. Lindsey McDowra will be teaching 3rd grade for us. She comes to us from Red Oak ISD and is super excited to be joining the Shackelford family. Mrs. Cheryl Bell will be our computer teacher this year. She has a long history in Waxahachie ISD and will do a great job in the lab.
I am currently working hard to get our August professional development agenda ready and will send it out by August 1.
Keep enjoying your summer!
Theresa
