Dear Staff,
We hope you are having a wonderful long weekend with your families. For those of you who celebrate Easter, Happy Easter! Blessed Passover to those who celebrate Passover. We hope all of you enjoy sunny and bright spring weather here this weekend! Hope you enjoy these fun Spring videos!
Dusty Miller and I have had some wonderful conversations on how to make the transition to a new principal the best it can be for students, staff and parents. I will be sending out a very short Google form for you to provide input on how to best make the transition for staff. We will then share this with Dusty. He and I are teaming this spring in various scheduled activities to meet parents, students and staff. Dusty will meet with department chairs at the end of April on his own and also go with me to the upcoming Karrer and Grizzell PTO meetings.
He is also attending the final Parent Breakfast at the end of April and the PTO Appreciation Luncheon with me. We are also hoping that he is also able to come to a staff meeting in May. Again, please provide any other input or feedback you have on how we can work to ensure this transition is a smooth and positive one for you.
