Employee Message from Randy Bangs, Interim Superintendent
Dear Employees,
On behalf of the District and our Board of Trustees, we want to thank you for an extraordinary first week of reopening our schools. It was so wonderful to have students back on our campuses and to see how excited they were to be back in class. It was also wonderful to see all of our awesome staff on school sites. Your work in supporting our students was superb! Thank you for everything you do!

National Teacher Appreciation Week
May 3-7, 2021
School Nutrition Employee Week
May 3-7, 2021
School cafeteria workers have always been essential, but their work to feed kids throughout this pandemic has shown us that they are superheroes. When schools shut down March 2020, teachers and administrators were able to work from home and provide online learning. Students weren’t getting the education they were used to, but there was at least an option for school to continue. Schools did their best to make technology available to all students but inequities still existed. But access to high speed, or any, internet wasn’t the only problem: Students and families rely on schools for food too.
Our Cafeteria workers got it done. They showed up every day, rain or shine, to be sure families could count on food when so much of everyday life was uncertain. Daily breakfast and lunch grab-and-go bags were available at pick-up stations or were delivered to students all across our district.
