As a reminder, special education paraprofessionals were nominated by themselves or others for exceptional work in the areas of attendance, cooperation, medicaid billing compliance, flexibility, and effort. Winners will be presented a certificate from the Optimist Club along with a $50 gift card.

Here is what was said about our K-6 winner. This paraprofessional...

• is always at work early and helps with transitions
• is always willing to lend a helping hand to co-workers and ask how they are doing
• reminds us to check our emails
• is very detail oriented and gets work done on time
• is vigilant around medical plans and always focuses on safety

Congrats!

As you may have noticed, there are signs on the staff lounge doors to the main hallway and into student services.

It is very important that we keep the door to the main hallway closed AND locked at all times to keep students out.

Please enter the staff lounge through the badge access workroom door OR through student services, only if the door is open. And do not forget to close doors behind you!

Thank you for your help with this and please remind others around you if they are not aware.

Please read the following press release to learn more about Philip!
