School News
Well Done!
National Education Week is next week and it was established by the NEA to put a spotlight on public education. While there will be two parent/guardian programs at school, I hope each of you will find a way to put a spotlight on the wonderful things happening in your classroom and sharing it with families. It is also an opportunity to celebrate the educator support professionals (all of our support staff) along with our Substitute teachers/TAs for their contributions to supporting our students.
Enjoy the weekend!
