Just wanted to let everyone know that Region 6 will be closed for Spring Break March 13-17, 2023.
I will have limited access to email, but I will check emails at least once during the week, so if you need assistance, please email me at dherrick@esc6.net.
Don't forget to "Spring Forward" this weekend and enjoy those extra hours of daylight!
