Team,
I hope you all had a productive week.
Please know that I posted Dr. Cook’s presentation on the Board Goals and strategies in the Fish Basket under School Board Goals and Policies’ tab for future reference. You will also notice on the home page that I created new page for Eric’s restorative practices resources.
Also, the answer is yes students need a parent permission slip for the CTE Fly-up day for 8th graders.
In admiration, ~Juan

That said, please reach out to the IT help desk if our changes restrict access to websites that are necessary for instruction. The changes are limited to student iPad devices only.
