- Please welcome Toehona Adams and Antroine Jefferson, they are joining our custodial team.
- I have included below a graphic for parents on the importance of daily reading. While it is not new information, it is a good reminder for our families and they get back into the routine after break. Please share it in one of your January newsletters to your parents.
- Bulletin boards in the hallway need to have student writing and the standard posted. Please make sure yours is updated (at a minimum a monthly switch is necessary).
