October is National Principals Month, which recognizes the essential role that principals play in making a school great.
Principals are among the hardest working, yet often least recognized individuals in education. Principals set the academic tone for their schools, and it is their vision, dedication, and determination that provide the mobilizing force for achieving student success.
Thank you to Principal Thompson and Principal Jacobson for their continued dedication to supporting our schools, students, staff, and community members!
This week is National School Lunch Week! We are so thankful to our incredible food service team that works so hard to provide delicious and nutritious meals for our students. Thank you for everything you do to make the school day run smoothly!
