School Psychologist Appreciation
This week was School Psychologist Appreciation week and we want to highlight our very own, Mrs. Shannon Welteroth, for all that she does to help our students thrive.
We'd like to recognize and show our appreciation for Mrs. Welteroth and all that she does to support students' learning and mental and behavioral health, to promote a positive and inclusive school climate, to serve on school safety and crisis teams, and to collaborate with families, teachers, and administrators to improve student outcomes.
School Attendance Officer Appreciation
We celebrated our School Attendance Officer, Danielle James, last week for School Attendance Officer Appreciation Week. We would like to thank Ms. James, for all that she does for our students and families.
Ms. James refers students and families to resources within the school and the community in order to address issues which may be impacting school attendance and develops an action plan for truant students as mandated by Virginia law.
Thank you, Ms. James, for all you do for our students!
