Team,
I will be sending messaging out to families today regarding School Finder and our SPS. Remember if you receive any questions that you do not feel comfortable answering please inform the parents that face to face Town Hall meeting in their area will be scheduled soon. Have a wonderful weekend. Stay dry and warm.

We are getting new students beginning Monday. Please make sure that you do not include new students in emails about missing classes, taking assessments, missing assignments, etc. You can do that by filtering out students who were approved after November 12th in TVA.
