A big Thank You to Rotary for providing Dictionaries for our third-grade students. For the first time, our English Learners were also provided Spanish/English dictionaries in addition to the English only dictionary.

I am excited about the opportunities we have outlined below to support the development of our staff. Please encourage any colleague you have who can benefit from these programs to reach out for more information.
