Dear Parents/Guardians,
I hope you have had a wonderful week and were able to enjoy the few moments of warmer weather while it lasted. It has been great to see many of you during parent teacher conferences this week. Our school to home partnership is very valuable to us and we feel this team is a huge component of helping our students reach their highest potential.
I wanted to make you aware of some changes in our front office staff. We are excited to have Cindy Barstow (who you know as our Attendance Clerk) move into the Principal’s Secretary position. She has many years of experience as a Principal’s Secretary and we are looking forward to having her in this new role. We expect to have a new Attendance Clerk in place in the next week or two. We are also happy to be welcoming back Audra Munoz, our previous Campus Supervisor back to this role starting on Monday, February 10th.
Just a reminder that we do not have school on Friday, February 14th. Have a wonderful weekend!
