Spotlight on Mrs. Linwood
Positive, Professional and Passionate!!! These are 3 words that come to mind as Mrs. Linwood serves the 6th grade team daily. At this time I would like to highlight her for her commitment and dedication she shows daily when working with students, staff and parents.
Spotlight on ARSA 6th Grade
At this time I would like to send a huge shout out to THE ENTIRE 6TH GRADE TEAM!!! It does not matter the task nor the time of day the 6th grade team ALWAYS go above and beyond to ensure student success and to ensure they are continuously supporting the ARSA Counseling program. They did an amazing job working together to complete the PGPs and they encouraged students daily to bring them in.
Each and every one of them are very in tune with their students' needs and refer them as needed. They consistently seek out ways to assist their students academically as well as socially and they are truly passionate about providing them with quality instruction. I am so very honored to work with them on a daily basis! Way to go 6th grade Teachers!!! You Rock!!!
Spotlight on Mrs. Tovar and Ms. Walker
We know and understand that this time of year is always busy for everyone. It is especially busy for the Counseling Department as we prepare to transition the elementary students to middle school and our middle school students to high school. The Counseling Department would like to thank Ms. Walker and Mrs. Tovar for all the hard work they do with scheduling to ensure a smooth transition. You are both awesome!!!
