Keep in your thoughts...

Many of you were aware Lori Young had been traveling back and forth to Texas since the last few days of June to be with her father.  It is with great sadness we share,  Lori's father passed away last Tuesday. Please keep Lori and her family in your thoughts during this difficult time for Lori and her family.

Do you want to wear jeans on Friday?

We need to have 100% completion of BBP & Diabetes (currently 66%), teacher schedules (30%) see Annie, as well as Employee Handbook, receipting, etc (currently 89%) see Janet.  New staff added since the July workdays are exempt from the deadline, but need to complete by August 4.

Smart Boards and iPAds, oh my!
