While this week has been our Spring Break, it has also been National Assistant Principals Week, a celebration of the unsung heroes in our education system. These dedicated folks work tirelessly to bolster teachers, motivate students, support their principal, create a positive learning community, and face the many unpredictable challenges that land on their desk.
Assistant Principals play a crucial role, and this week is a dedicated time to recognize them for their hard work and commitment to our schools, students, and profession. Please join us in celebrating these incredible school leaders!
Thank you, Mr. Griffin and Dr. Walker!
Please join us for our next Quarterly Parent Workshop when our counselors, Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. Hilton, and our instructional coach, Ms. Nelson, will discuss test taking skills and combatting test anxiety.
