From Heidi B: Renee & Jesse(in training:) For doing such an amazing job with student schedules and to Laura for making it look so easy to keep track of all that data(which we know it is not!)

From Bri M: Mr. Collis did a great job with our first IEP meeting of the year. It was great cutting down on some time since the family was able to review feedback the day before.

From Laura J: Ellen, Maria, and Sharlie for contacting every family on the 10 day drop list and finding out where every student that did not show up for the first week of school is.  Also, with their help we were able to get every family (except for one) to complete online registration.  They are an amazing workforce in the front office!

From Kristin B:  ESS Team for rolling with a little bit of a crazy start and helping to pick up additional work.  I appreciate everything you do to support the team, the students and the school.
