As you know, we will be down an administrator for the remainder of the year. Please remember to monitor the halls in between classes and supervise areas before, during, and after school. The district is also providing support with supervision next week with an extra sub. On Monday through Thursday, you will see Sarah Cetro in the cafeteria and halls; Stacy Pohlman will be here on Friday.
We appreciate all of your support and efforts to move forward. We are confident that we will finish the year strong! Please let us know if we can be of any help.
Teacher Appreciation Week
It’s Teacher Appreciation Week! We know that this year has been a difficult one and we very much appreciate all that you do for our students. Please enjoy the tokens of appreciation throughout the week!
A reminder that PTO will be providing lunch as a belated teacher appreciation gift on Track Day, May 12. We will also have a massage therapist here, thanks to the district’s wellness program. Unfortunately, we were not successful in getting two therapists to come, but we did get a few additional time slots. If you have not signed up for a chair massage, you may do so here.
New Hires
Our science candidates did not go to the Board on Monday as planned because the district was still in the process of checking references. We will announce our new staff members after they have been Board approved.
Drs. Lee and Vogt will begin the screening process this weekend for the Social Studies position and will then begin working on the Orchestra position.
8th Grade Party - May 12
Students who are interested in helping with the party should meet after school in room 106 on May 3rd and 10th. There is no cost to attend the party, however, we are asking 8th graders to register at lunches May 1-4 so that we have an accurate count for pizza.
