Thank you so much for helping bubble in the ELPAC sheets. It was time consuming, but we got it done and mailed in! It never would have happened without your support.

Thank you all for your support in working with our 3rd grade friend. Working as a team with all of you brought so many great voices and ideas into the room. I know mom left feeling supported and that we have a strong plan to support her student. Thank you all for your time and dedication to the situation.

We have been having some tough conversations that many people often avoid, and it may even feel easier to avoid having them. However, we’ve been doing it. We’ve really been pushing each other’s thinking and for that I am so grateful. These are the conversations that will make us grow. These are the conversations that will allow us to give our students what they need and deserve, and I truly feel blessed for this safe space. Thank you!

It was great to start talking about our Special Education program and what that can/will look like in the upcoming school year. Thanks for all you’re doing already. I really am looking forward to having you as our (official) leader.
