Today we welcomed our new staff members at our first day of orientation! These special days are about more than training as we build connections and relationships that will be here to support them throughout their careers in the district. We had a great day together meeting our administrative team, taking a bus trip to tour each school, meeting community leaders at the fire department and Chamber of Commerce, and receiving classroom technology. We are elated to have this passionate group of educators join our team!
