Weekly Update

Paine Family,

Thank you for all you continue to do for our students and each other!  Going the extra mile doesn't even cover it.  I count you in my blessings each day!

I am so grateful to TCS for providing us with the 2 virtual days (Friday, February 4th & Friday, February 18th) to be able to catch our breath!  I know how much you all need this.  Teachers, please remember to send all students home with their Chromebooks the Thursday before each of these days.  Please make sure lessons/assignments are in Schoology and you have communicated your "office hours" to students/parents.  On both days, certified staff may work from home or in the building, whichever you prefer.  Please remember:  You should not clock in on either of those days. 

I will work with classified staff on your schedules for those days early next week. 

Thank you for welcoming Jared Meads into our school and your classrooms over the past three weeks.  He learned so much while he was here, and I know how grateful he is!  We will welcome Erin Piper, HTMS Assistant Principal, here for her 3-week elementary principal internship the last week of February.

Thank you again for always going the extra mile and making our school great!  I pray you know how loved and appreciated you are!
