Year-End Preparations & Celebrations
The next few weeks will be very hectic as students and staff complete the academic year. High schools will be preparing for their graduations and the final exercises and special events for their graduates; Intermediate and Elementary schools will be having their final closings for students moving on to another school next year; and, staff will be busy with a myriad of tasks associated with the end of another school year and the early preparations for next year. An exciting time and an opportunity to celebrate the efforts and achievements of our 6,500 students and nearly 900 staff over the past year!
June also brings our own Staff Retirement Celebration – we are proud to recognize the contributions of 22 individuals this year and wish them a well-deserved retirement from Board service as well as best wishes on whatever new venture (or adventure) on which they wish to embark. May each of you enjoy many years of flexible schedules, spending more time with family and friends, seeing the world, or whatever interest guides your future pathways.
