From the desk of the Superintendent
I am making a plea to ask your children questions, and that is all of your kids regardless of age. What did you do today?
What was your favorite class?
Tell me something new that you learned?
What made you happy and what made you sad?
It is crucial that we all work together to create a new generation of communicators and young learners and I am asking all of our families to please help us out at home any way you can.
Have a great week
Superintendent Tommy Byler
The first full week...
- The first full week has come and gone and we continue to witness a lot of great things at the start because of the preparation by many to ensure a smooth start. Still had to address a few issues but feel like many of these obstacles were resolved the best we could with the time and resources we had.
- We had the first days of school for our youngest learners as our Pre-K and Kindergarten students started their educational journey. We wish them all the best.
- High school athletics got underway this past week as football, volleyball, and cross country wrapped up pre-season prep and began with scrimmages and jamborees.
- Mendoza Ford car raffle tickets are now on sale at all of our schools so please reach out to your friends and family and help make this the greatest raffle to date and maybe win a Ford-F150 truck.
- Please keep in your thoughts and prayers the family of Mrs. Susan Webb Stoute, a fourth grade teacher at Cecil Picard Elementary, who passed away on Saturday after a medical emergency occurrence this past Monday. Please also keep in thought her students, who only got to spend two days with her before this tragic event. Please pray for all.
