🎉 Happy School Custodian Appreciation Day! 🎉
Today we celebrate and honor the hardworking custodians who keep our schools clean and safe. They work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that our learning environments are comfortable and conducive to education.
Let's take a moment to show our gratitude to these unsung heroes by saying thank you, giving a high-five, or simply smiling and acknowledging their efforts.
To all the custodians out there, we appreciate you and your dedication to our schools. Thank you for all that you do! 💙🧹🧼🚿🧻

📢 October is National Bullying Prevention Month! Let's raise awareness about the impact bullying can have on a student's education, physical and emotional health, safety, and well-being. 😔 The emotional scars can last a lifetime, which is why it's important to work together to create kinder, more inclusive, and accepting communities for all students. 👫
If you see something, say something. We encourage students, families and community members to speak up through our Safe Schools system: http://1376.alert1.us/
🧠 October is Learning Disabilities Awareness Month.
Learning disabilities can be caused by genetic and neurobiological factors that affect cognitive processes related to learning, such as reading, writing, math, organization, time planning, abstract reasoning, memory, and attention.
Learning disabilities can impact an individual's life beyond academics, affecting relationships and work. While learning disabilities are often diagnosed during the school years, some individuals may not receive an evaluation until post-secondary education or adulthood.
It's important to note that learning disabilities should not be confused with other disabilities or disadvantages.
People with learning disabilities are often of average or above-average intelligence, but may struggle to demonstrate expected skills. Although learning disabilities are lifelong challenges, appropriate support and intervention can help individuals achieve success in various areas of life.
