Dear Team,
Due to a last minute conflict, we had to reschedule our All Student Success Team Meeting to Friday, December 16th.
I know…it is the last day before vacation. We will make it a combined holiday celebration and All Student Success Team Meeting! We will meet around lunch time so we can be finished early. LUNCH will be served!
Thank you for your understanding! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Ann
