Also approved are the Faculty/Staff handbooks as well as the Parent Handbook. Those have all the edits that were approved and are now in the shared Faculty Drive in a folder entitled 19-20 docs.
We have a new Child Abuse and Neglect Policy as mandated by the state. I have shared that doc with you.
Last, please make a note for yourself as well as communicating to parents the date of the meeting in which 19-20 e-learning will be discussed and voted on. That date is Tuesday, April 16th at 7pm at Soest. It has been known since December that it would be discussed then, now you have the exact date as well.
ECE Open House
Folks it is key that we do all we can to get behind these events and support them. At a minimum, we need to maintain current enrollment numbers and at best we need to grow. If not, cuts will need to happen. We are at the break even point with enrollment and needed faculty and staff. Please do all you can to help.
