Mandatory Meeting to Receive $500 Stipend:
Duty Assignments this week - Changes Made
As we usually do the week before a break from school, everyone will be on duty. As you know, this past week was busy intervening to stop student scuffles and students tend to be a bit edgy the week before a holiday break. Let's be proactive and not only be watchful after school, let's continue our efforts to be a visible presence in the halls during transitions. Thank you for your help. It truly takes each of us working together to make change happen.
If you are unable to be at your duty station, please find someone to take your place.
