Announcements
Welcome back, students and families! I hope you had a wonderful summer and felt ready to return. We have been very busy preparing for the year ahead—we had teachers attend professional development on teaching writing in New York, and many others attended sessions on everything from social studies to social-emotional supports. Teachers have been back at work since early August setting up beautiful learning spaces, planning and working in their new teams. We are very fortunate to welcome several new staff members this year as well. I hope you have had a chance to meet your children’s teachers, and if not, you will soon! Please see attached paper for complete staff list.
