Title I Reading Night & Parent Meeting (K–8 Families): Flyer is in the Lions Link
That evening, we’ll also be hosting a Title I Reading Night and Parent Meeting. Stop by for some fun reading activities, and everyone is encouraged to join in.
TeacherEase Student Information Verification: As we continue working with our new student information system, TeacherEase, we will provide families with a printout of the parent/guardian and emergency contact information currently on file. Please take a few minutes to review the information and make sure everything is accurate and up to date. Having correct information is important so we can communicate with families and reach the appropriate contacts when needed.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership! We appreciate our Lions families and look forward to working together to help every student succeed. 🦁❤️🖤

Are you interested in becoming a substitute teacher?
If you are interested in becoming a substitute teacher and you do not have the required 36 college hours, you can do an online course that will allow you to get a substitute certificate. Here is the link to that course, and here is the link to the DESE web page that gives you more information about what you need to do to get a substitute certification.
