This week was Teacher Appreciation Week. I am fairly often reminded of how incredible Whitnall's teaching staff is because I get to witness their dedication and passion both in the classroom and behind the scenes. But, this week, I took the opportunity to truly feel and express my gratitude. I hope that you consider thanking an educator who has had a positive impact on you or on your child. A few appreciate words can go a long way.
The end of the school year is now less than a month away! There is still much to be done, and I am so excited to see our learners through to the end of what has already been a wonderful school year.

In January of 2017, the board partnered with NEOLA, a board policy management company, to convert all district policies from pdf format to a searchable, online database. Before each policy was converted, it was reviewed by district staff. Everything has now been completed, and policies and administrative guidelines are available online via our website.
Here
is quick link if you would like to do some exploring!
