Hello Ken,

I know it is a hard pivot from Thanksgiving break to the end-of-the-semester sprint. We have 15 school days left in 2024. Let's make the most of them.

Here are the updates:

• December Board Meeting: Monday, December 2 at 2:30 pm. The work session includes a gifted program update, 2025 legislative priorities, a financial report, and of course, a progress monitoring update. The complete agenda is here.
• Join the District 3 Community Meeting: I will be meeting over Zoom on Friday, December 6 at 10 am to recap some key board agenda items and hear feedback on other key APS topics. Register here.
• Tell us what is on your mind: What has been your experience at your child's school? Fill out the district wide survey to help your school work better for you and our community.
