Hanging out @ Get Connected!

It was a great event. Thank you to all our parent groups, community partners and the BOE for attending.

3. Get back into a routine. 😴🛌
4. Review previous materials. 📄
5. Set goals: Think about what you want to achieve academically and personally during the upcoming school year. 🤔🥉
