Preservice Days
Welcome Back! The Summer months have come and gone and now it is time to continue laying an excellent educational foundation for our students and families, as well as introduce new instructional supports and staff members. I look forward to working alongside each of you as we get the chance to renew our efforts in helping students achieve more than they ever imagined.
