So great to welcome our students back today, even amidst the drastic change in weather. Please remind your student(s) to dress warmly for the inclement weather we are having. With the snow, we are requesting that parents be mindful of the crosswalks and school bus zones to prioritize students’ safety. Over Teachers’ Convention, staff engaged in ongoing professional learning through workshops, collaborative planning sessions, instructional coaching and conferences to refine their practice and stay current with research-based strategies. Grateful to be part of a team of dedicated educators!
