Administrative Message
On the agenda Friday was the topic What is your impact? Our impact goes beyond the classroom. Your dedication and impact was expressed by a family who simply told the teachers "Thank You". It was not just an ordinary thank you but a heart felt thank you. This family had seen how students can get overlooked. Here at Weiss it is evident the focus is on developing scholars academically, socially, and emotionally.
Teachers Learning!!!
