Message from Mrs. Rach
We have enjoyed welcoming families back into our schools through events like the Winter Carnival, school volunteer opportunities, and field trips - just to name a few. In partnership with our Cushing PTO, we are offering an informational learning session focusing on literacy and technology skills on March 30th from 5:30 - 6:30. Save the date! We look forward to connecting with families while we share more about these topics.  
 
We are asking that all families complete this SURVEY to provide input on this session, as well as future sessions. Your response to this survey is helpful even if you aren’t able to attend the first session. Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts with us.
