Good News:
In case you haven’t yet heard, we received VERY good news from MIYFS this week. Due to a new grant that they have received, all school counselors will have their work week increased to full time, starting next week. We are happy Miss Anna will now be available to our students 5 days a week!Parent Support Opportunity:
We know that this pandemic has been difficult on everyone, with our parent partners as no exception. We realize that you have been called upon to add to your already extensive responsibilities by supporting your child(ren) through the school day and their class lessons. We appreciate you and know that you deserve some support during this time. Our amazing MIYFS counselor, Anna Orton, will be offering some informal Parent Support session. Information about these sessions can be found here: link to letterImportant Dates
