WE HAVE CHANGED THE DATE FOR TPV TRAINING TO AUGUST 23 @ 1PM BECAUSE OF THE ECLIPSE.  

On August 23rd @ 1:00 pm, we will offer our second training of the year for parents to become TRAINED PARENT VOLUNTEERS (TPV's)!  TPV's provide two hours of release time so our teachers can work with curriculum experts to fine-tune their craft, analyze data to prepare differentiated lessons, and plan curriculum. 

TPV's make a tremendous difference in our ability to provide continual and job-embedded professional learning opportunities for our staff - and are a major factor in designation as a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence
