Staff Orientation
and First Day Magic
|
The first day of school is preceded, of course, by preparation: staff trainings, classroom set-up, and plenty of paperwork and technology to deal with. Meanwhile, new staff members are introduced and everyone works together to make sure everything is ready for the big day!
Here is a look at Staff Orientation and the very happy return of our students! Photo, right: One-One-One Aide Charles Schafer helps with organizing Danielle Whinna's Community Based Instruction classroom.
