Welcome Longhorn Staff:
We wish Ms. Knoop (3rd) and Ms. Cottman (4th) the best of luck as they teach in other buildings for the 2018-19 school year! We are excited to welcome Jamie Swartzendruber (3rd) and Meghan Griggs (4th) as they will be a wonderful addition to the Longfellow teaching staff!
Abby Pauley will be our lead Academic Support Teacher, and Emilia Hummel will lead the English Language Learner Program.
We will have new faces in our special education program as well with Michael Finley teaching in Ms. Mack's position and Analisa Gerig-Sickles taking Ms. Ramsey's position.
We will also welcome many para-educators to our team this year and are excited that we have such amazing support in our community!

Landscaping
Many community members have inquired about the landscaping plans for the renovated Longfellow. The district is re-planting trees at a rate of 3:1. This is an additional 2 trees beyond the typical 1:1 ratio. Some trees that were removed on the front of the building were to make way for frontage trees required by City Code.
The ornamental bed space will have approximately 36 Arborvitaes, 10 Lilacs, 37 Spireas, 10 Forsythias, plus more.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: E-REGISTRATION
Mark your calendars for Longfellow's 100th Year Celebration!!!
