ERD (Early Release Day) on Wednesday.   Please communicate with all your families so they can make plans.

NCEES is fixed!  The PDP's will be reviewed and round one observations will be scheduled throughout October.

My Hero shirt is Sarah, but it is a size large.  Therefore I am honoring the heroes who bravely live in spite of a cancer diagnosis.  Their heroism is perseverance. It is easy to feel cheated and that life is unfair.  Heroes continue to add value to the world.  They inspire me and thus are heroic!  

Tuesday is College day!  Be.determined
