Happy Assistant Principals Week!

Our APs wear more hats than a whole hat store and somehow make every single one look good!

From supporting students and staff, to solving problems on the fly, to keeping our campus running smoothly, they do it all with heart, hustle, and a whole lot of grace.

We are beyond grateful for everything you do each and every day.

Hats off to Mrs. Jung and Mrs. Marek!

Today is Autism Acceptance Day 💙

Not just awareness. Not just recognizing it exists.
Acceptance means we do something about it.

It means we:

See the individual, not just the label
Respect different ways of thinking, learning, and communicating
Create spaces where all students can succeed — not just “fit in”
Teach others that differences are not deficits
Autism isn’t something to “fix.”
It’s something to understand.

As educators, parents, and community members, we have a responsibility to lead this the right way — with patience, consistency, and high expectations.

Because every student deserves to be known, supported, and valued for exactly who they are.

💙 #AutismAcceptance #DifferentNotLess #SpEdStrong
