We are a Grateful Staff! On behalf of the entire staff, I want to thank all the parents, community members, and local businesses who made Staff Appreciation Week a memorable one. The show of appreciation that was felt this week was amazing. Educators are a special breed. They want to help kids and do not ask for much. It’s that little recognition from people who appreciate their effort that goes a long, long way. It’s reassuring. It’s rejuvenating. Thank you all that contributed with a meal, a snack, a donation, a treat, a beverage, or a thank you note!
Staff Appreciation Week: It takes every school employee to make it all work in any school system. Teachers are the backbone of education and we have some of the best! We also have tremendous support staff as bus drivers, cooks, paraprofessionals, custodians, secretaries, IT, trustees, and substitutes. I am sure all of us can remember someone during our education that made a difference. I was lucky as I can think of many teachers, coaches, and other school staff that made a difference in my younger days. I hope you can all say the same. If you are able I would encourage you to reach out to that former teacher or coach or bus driver and tell them they were important in helping you grow as a person.

Front Doors Locked: Recently we have seen more foot traffic than we are used to around the school on our streets. We have had no issues but for safety reasons we will now have our front doors locked during the day. Visitors will have to buzz in and be allowed to enter the building. This is not uncommon for schools to do this and we feel it’s an appropriate measure to take. It might be inconvenient at first but over time it will become a good safety habit.

Parents, Students, and Community Members: I want to thank all of you for your concern, patience, and thoughtful questions about the recent threat situation the school experienced on Tuesday. All of us are keenly aware of the seriousness of such issues. It is scary. It is frustrating. It is stressful. One of the toughest things about it is communication. The school is stuck between a rock and hard place when it comes to disseminating information. There are all kinds of considerations: safety of students and staff, public’s right to know, individual’s right to privacy, and the list goes on. I have listed a few questions we received since the announcement on the threat. These are questions we can answer so I hope this helps with some of the apprehension all of us experience in these situations. Anytime you have questions please do not hesitate to call or set up an appointment.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! May the Luck of Irish Shine Down Upon You!
“May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.”
Rumor Mill: We really do appreciate calls and questions here at school especially when it involves rumors. Two weeks ago there was a rumor about several teachers resigning at a school board meeting. That rumor is not true. At this time, one teacher has announced her intention to retire. To date, there have been no other resignations. I was called today regarding several open hourly positions that were rumored to be available at the school. There are no openings for hourly positions at this time at the school. If there are job opportunities which become available they will be listed on the school facebook page, with OPI jobs for teachers, and/or Lake County Job Service.
