As the new school year is about to begin, we hope everyone is taking advantage of the opportunities to visit your child's school to meet the teachers either today (middle and high schools) or tomorrow (elementary schools). We would like to take the time to give an enormous THANK YOU to our custodians, maintenance staff, mechanics, transportation department, nutritional services, technology staff, school counselors, administrative assistants, and administration for all they have done this summer to prepare for the school year ahead. It takes everyone to make a school division successful, and we think we have THE BEST! If you see them around the schools, be sure to let them know you appreciate the job they are doing.
