💬 Town Hall Recap

On Friday, we hosted our first Town Hall of the school year, a wonderful opportunity for our community to share experiences, exchange thoughts, and listen to one another. Together, we explored ideas and collaborated on ways to shape the future of our school. 💛

Some of the topics discussed included teacher retention, Spanish classes, communication, professional development, and more, reflecting the community’s diverse interests and priorities. Families who attended suggested holding a Town Hall every three months to keep the momentum going, and we’re excited to continue fostering connection and collaboration across our school community. 🌱✨

Our next Town Hall will be in February, and we will share the exact date at a later time. If you weren’t able to attend but would still like to share feedback, we’d love to hear from you! Please use the Mentimeter link to add your thoughts and comments. 🗣💡

Thank you for helping keep our community strong and student-centered! 🌟
