Mars Memo
The End is Near
Changes
- Jessica Parmerlee has volunteered to transfer to kindergarten for next year and has already started to meet with the K/Y5 team.
- Jill Roberts and now Mishiki McIntyre have left for other adventures ... as they join Stacy Roach and Dennie Riley in leaving Mars
- For next year Matt Schlutt, Amanda Janke and Marthita Chadwick will be looking for teaching jobs. I wish them well at the same time I hope to have them back at Mars next year
- Danny Bartz will be the district's full time special education director... I will miss him at Sylvester but am selfishly glad that I can count on him with the tough work of helping students with extreme needs/disabilities
I suspect there will be more changes. Look for email updates this summer.

New Physical Address for Mars
You may have seen the numbers 430 above the entrances that have been put there in the last month. This has been quite a process to get individual address for the different buildings on campus. This physical address will be used for deliveries and driving directions to get folks directly to us. Google, first responders, and delivery companies are using this now. Our mailing address will remain One Sylvester Ave.
Tuesday's Staff Meeting
