 Thanks to Greg, Vanessa, and Angela for providing tech assistance for IAR testing.  Also thanks to Greg, Vanessa and Kim for the prep work they had to complete to get testing ready for day one.  It was a lot!

Angela has done a great job of  updating the sub handbook.  These updates will help our current and new subs be ready and trained for all aspects of their job.  This information will also be helpful for our teachers and a short overview will be presented at the start of the new school year.  

Kerry and her students went to the Shedd Aquarium and had a fun and educational time.  




Joe and Jen V showing off their new gear!  A good reminder that that Lisa and Janice are a great resource and connection to our community who love to support our students and teachers.  



I am looking forward to Betty's ML presentation on our early release day on April 13th.  Also, teaching assistants have a meeting with Dr. LeBlanc in the conference room on this day after school.

Our Spring Sports season is underway with track and girls soccer beginning practice this week.  Thanks to Courtney, Bill, Carrie, Abby, Matt and Joe for coaching these teams.  Dan also sent out the sign-up for volunteers.  Please consider helping out as there are still slots available.  Finally, thanks to Megan S for checking on with students in their Bengal Card process.

Thanks to Kerry for finishing up DLM with her students this past week.  



I was able to get into a lot of classrooms this week.  I am always impressed by the level of student engagement and the creativity of our teaching staff.  

We have the Link for the Annie performance.  If you were unable to see the play, this is a great recording.  (You have to download it)
