Parents and Community Members, 

As we finalize our preparations for the 2022-2023 school year, I wanted to make a few announcements. First, with the busy administrative and new employee trainings we have set for August, we have decided to cancel the Committee Meetings scheduled for August 2^nd and 3^rd. Our goal is to open this school year with a clear set of unified expectations for all students. With that, we want to use the next week to collaborate with all team members to organize the opening of the school year. Second, we all understand the importance of communication and plan to streamline pathways for parents and community members. This plan will include a complete overhaul of our social media presence, group PTA and parent organization meetings and an updated District website. I feel strongly that our new approach will provide the resources students and parents need to feel informed and heard.  Our Vision this year revolves around the “Power of One” so we will use this theme to guide our outreach.   

Listed here are the events we will ask for public involvement and participation in for the month of August: 

1. Wednesday, August 10th 7:00 PM - Public Agenda Setting Board Meeting;
