School support staff, also known as Education
Support Professionals (ESPs), strengthen our
schools, communities, and associations across
the country. They play a vital role on the
education team and in students' lives inside
and outside the classroom. They keep our
schools running and our students safe, healthy,
and ready to learn every day.
American Education Week - November 18-22
American Education Week happens the week prior to
the week of Thanksgiving. Each day of the week has
its own theme, during which we celebrate our public
school community.
Festivities honor the team of people who work in our
nation’s public schools, everyone from the bus driver
and classroom teacher to the cafeteria worker and
administrative staff, plus countless others.

Due to a PowerSchool issue, some families are having difficulty opening report cards being sent by schools today. Schools have been instructed to stop sending report cards until PowerSchool can rectify the issue. Families who have already received report cards should wait until this evening to attempt to open them.

AVID class 6A were the first ever 6th graders to win a binder check competition from Ms. Horwath. They voted on a hot chocolate bar as their prize. Fun was had by all!
