As we near the final day of the school year, we would like to take the time to say
to everybody for all of your hard work, dedication, and patience this year!
Our schools and buildings could not operate the way they do
without each and every one of you!
We know these past few years have been difficult for many reasons.
So with that in mind, we would like to wish our 10-month members a safe and relaxing Summer. To our 12-month members, we hope that you are able to take some vacation to truly relax and unwind, as well.
If you need to reach out over the Summer, your Executive members will be here working, utilizing the compressed work hour schedule.
