IDEAS? SUGGESTIONS?
Thank you for a smooth first nine weeks of school. We are off to a great start with our secure entrance, our intentional infusion of technology in the curriculum, and our focus on academics. If you have any suggestions of ways we can make changes to improve our school, we value your input. My door is always open.
