A Message from the Principal...
Hi friends,
Last week was emotional, but between the vigil and the acts of love and kindness displayed on campus and throughout the community, I am finding myself feeling more optimistic and empowered by the promise of the #PowayStrong movement. I want to thank you for the ways in which you have supported our students and each other. Thank you for keeping our counseling team informed regarding student needs. Thank you to our WEB Team (Casey, Danielle R., and Megan F.) for coordinating the letters and cards of support and thanks so quickly, and to those of you who had students write notes during Ram. Andy, I appreciate you settign up the sound so the choir could perform during lunch. Everything came together so nicely. For those of you who have not seen TPMS featured in the Zevely Zone, here is the link: https://www.cbs8.com/video/news/local/zevely-zone/poway-unified-gets-unified-through-music/509-1e35c900-d186-4dc6-a539-6c33c9cc790c I encourage you to watch it...definitely uplifting. As we try to regain a sense of normalcy, please continue to practice self-care and continue to look out for those around you. Here is a flyer from our EASE program with advice on how to cope, and know that EASE is a free service to all of us.
Sincerely,
Kelly

COPY ROOM CARE
With Christie off campus last week, our copy room seemed to take a beating, both literally and figuratively. The copier repairman stated that some of the problems were the result of people slamming the doors shut, and not being very gentle with the machines in general. When a copier goes down, we are all impacted. You can help by treating the machines with care, calling or emailing Christie right away when problems occur, and keeping the area clean. If Christie is absent, please let Kris or Lynda know and we will support them in addressing the issue.
