Staff Stuff
Happy Friday.
We are in the stretch run .... just three weeks left in the second quarter. As we encourage students to finish strong, please remember to notify parents if students are in danger of failing.
We are excited to welcome back a couple of our Conquistadors. Rachel Takla will return on Monday, December 3. Thank you Alison Lawrence for filling in so capably during her absence. Fayanne Bakoo returns on the 5th and will work Wednesday through Friday to finish out the semester, returning full time in January. Marie Yagmur will still be with us on Mondays and Tuesdays through December.
We have a number of upcoming performances by some of our most creative Conquistadors. Band and Choir perform next week and Drama the following week. Thank you, Kelvin and Beka, for all of your work in preparing our students. I'm looking forward to hearing and seeing our kids perform.
Have a great weekend!
