Today, April 4, 2023, is School Librarian Day. Please be sure to thank your librarians for all they do for your school.
School Library Month is the American Association of School Librarians' celebration of school librarians/libraries.
Research shows that school libraries/librarians have the ability to have a positive effect on the success of students. Libraries are intended to be comfortable learning spaces where students are given the ability to have free conversations, receive one-on-one attention if needed, and explore topics in a calming atmosphere.
This is a reminder that there is NO SCHOOL on Friday, April 7, 2023 in observance of Good Friday. On Monday, April 10, 2023, there is NO SCHOOL for STUDENTS, as this is Parent/Teacher Conference Day. Conferences will take place from 10am -6 pm. Please note that each school will take an hour-long lunch break sometime within this time period. Times may NOT be the same for all schools. If you are planning to attend conferences, and you do not already have an appointment, you may want to contact that school to find out when their break is scheduled. For those attending for Kindergarten registration, someone will ALWAYS be available at each elementary school from 10am-6 pm.
Thank you, and please share.
