Thank You
Thank you for a great first four months of school. I appreciate everyone's positive attitude, modeling our Keep It Nice Daily theme, strengthening positive relationships with students and families, work toward a restorative culture, fidelity to the implementation of the new literacy curriculum, contributions to our School-wide Title I Plan, recognizing students with KIND Cards, and everything else you do on a daily basis to support our students, families, and each other. You have been working extremely hard and you deserve this break. I hope you get to enjoy time with family and friends and I look forward to greeting you back on January 7, 2019.
