Happy Birthday, Traci S.! She'll celebrate her big day on 3/30!
Happy Monday, Wilson Team!
On another note, I want you to know that some very difficult decisions will be made in the weeks to come regarding grade level assignments. It is a huge decision that I do not take lightly and one that has caused me many sleepless nights. I also know, however, that they are changes that need to be made in order for us to continue to grow as a collective "team" and truly function as grade level PLCs, which is a board goal. I recognize that change is never easy, but as I analyze it through the lens of "what is best for kids", I know it is necessary. Please know that I will do EVERYTHING I can to make these changes as easy as possible for all those involved!
I look forward to your support and understanding as our "Team" continues to unite and do what is best for our kids!
