There were no students in the buildings on Tuesday but there was still plenty of schooling going on! It was a great day of learning and collaboration throughout the District for our Teacher Institute Day.

We're thankful for all the hard work our Facilities Department puts in to ensure things run smoothly every day. During Spring Break, our custodial and maintenance staff gathered for in-service training.
