Greetings to our valued Aquila families!
At the end of the day, Shelley and I often take a walk and call each other to reflect and continue thinking about how we can better serve our Aquila community. In our reflections, the themes of gratitude and community continue to rise to the top. We are so grateful for each of you.
We want to take this opportunity to thank our amazing staff! This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, but we are recognizing that it takes our whole staff to create the community we want for our school so we are recognizing this as Staff Appreciation Week! We know they have been working tirelessly to maintain relationships with our families, adapt to distance learning, and continue to provide engaging instruction for our students. They have been caring, collaborative, creative and open-minded through all of this! Please take a moment to share your gratitude with your child’s teacher and our support staff.
As we mentioned in our phone blast, teachers will be coming into the school to pack up student belongings and put away teaching materials for the year.
Please know that on the date your grade level teacher will be packing their classroom, they will not be available to post assignments or be available for student contact. On
