Kudos to all of our teachers for everything you do day in and day out for our students, school, and district. Being an educator is such a rewarding yet demanding job all at the same time. I know you all work tireless, long hours for our students, our school, and our district. Be proud of what you do on a daily basis as I know I am proud of each and every one of you! I truly believe that it is an educator that creates a ripple for everything else in this world! We have great students, we have a great staff, and we have a great school! Happy Teacher Appreciation Day (in my book week!) Thank you all for everything you do day in and day out... you are amazing!

Thank a teacher video :)

Kudos to Steve Berezowitz for your work putting together the 8th grade Gateway experience this past Friday! Awesome to get our students exposure to college and career opportunities!
Kudos to Rod Stoughton, Stacy Stoughton, and all the parent/guardian chaperones on a great first trip to Cleveland, OH! This was the first time Rod has planned this trip and to have 70 students attend is awesome! From the pictures, posted on Facebook, the trip looks like it was a great time! Thank you Rod for setting this experience up for our students!

Information/Reminders...

May 7 - May 18 - 3rd Floor High School AP Testing

The entire 3rd floor will be occupied by our high school students for AP testing. As a district this was a great location to utilize for testing as it is quiet and meets the strict guidelines for the testing environments.
Therefore, you cannot reserve or have students utilize the hallways, auditorium, or classrooms on the 3rd floor throughout these two weeks.
High school staff and testing proctors will be on school grounds as well as the high school students. If any were needing assistance with where AP testing is taking place please assist them with getting to the 3rd floor. They are using basically all the rooms aligned with the 21st Century Lab and the auditorium as a "waiting room".

Monday, May 7 - To celebrate Teacher Appreciation Day... well... week... there will be donuts, muffins, and coffee from The Coffee House in the main office for everyone right away Monday morning!
