Today is National Coaches Day, and that absolutely includes our Instructional Coaches and our Student Success Coach! We are so grateful for Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Nwonye, and Mrs. Beary! They help to support both students and staff in the building which is no small job. Whether its helping with assessments, collecting data, setting up interventions and student supports, meeting with teachers to provide resources and answer questions, providing professional development, or a number of other wonderful tasks, they all make it look easy and do it so well! Thank you for all that you do for us, ladies! We are incredibly fortunate you are Warriors! 🩵👏

**Side note: Mrs. Nwonye was NOT doing the unthinkable here! She was pulling the alarm for a scheduled drill! 😆👏

🗣Warrior Parents:

Please remember we must be respectful of our neighbors! If you are in a vehicle while picking up your student(s) and waiting near the homes around our building, be sure you are not blocking vehicles in or out of driveways.

Thank you!
