Week of March 30th

 

Welcome back! I hope you all had some time to relax and do something you enjoy. We are now in the final months of school, which brings about our state testing periods. Please remember to review student accommodations, and to chunk testing as much as, and when,  possible. 

Remember your Work Badge

We have a large staff, and it takes a lot of time to buzz people into the building when people forget to bring their badge to work. Please try to remember to bring your badge everyday to let yourself into the building. This will be really helpful in trying to keep the office running efficiently.
