Welcome back - |
I trust you had a restful break and are now recharged for the final eight plus weeks of the school year. I would like to commend the custodial staff for their efforts in helping “perk-up” the building for the end-of-the-year push. Thanks for your efforts. The buildings look great! |

Just as an update our strategic plan, the 12 strategy teams have been working on the goals identified by each committee. If you wish to see the progress that is being made, you can check it out on our website. Again, thanks to all the many staff members who are assisting the district in reaching our strategy goals. A summary of this year’s work will be presented to the Board this month on Monday, April 23. |
