It's hard to believe that we have made it to the end of the 2022-2023 school year. I appreciate all each of you have done to make this school year a success and one that positively impacted students. The hard work that you have put into preparing our students to be success ready does not go unnoticed. We have one more mad dashed week before you can give your minds a well deserved break.
That being said, everyday this week is filled with something, so it is important for all of us to finish strong. Keep students in their classrooms, do not allow them to roam. Keep holding students accountable to the expectations you have set all year.
