FIELD UPDATE: HELPFUL

Yesterday, I sent out information to families that the field will be under construction (to be replaced with a turf/cork field) when we return from spring break.  The plan is for the work on the field to begin after spring break and to be completed in August.  I will continue to keep you updated, and will send out a drawing of the final plan once I get it.

This morning at the budget meeting, Dr. Reyes talked about the importance of Safety-net and how that process allows us to recapture dollars for special education.
