I am so excited to share our new strategic plan that will guide our work for the next three years. I hope that you will take a moment and familiarize yourself with this important plan and realize that we all play a part in creating a dynamic environment for our students to matter and thrive. We cannot do this work without your contributions and support.
Thank you for all that you do!
Zot Zot Zot!
