Superintendent in Residence - I thoroughly enjoyed my last 2 days at the Howard School. Thank you, Mr. Leeman and the entire Howard School staff for welcoming me. It is a school where students are learning, cared for, and supported. It was great to be at arrivals and dismissals, in classrooms, interacting with students and staff, being in common planning meetings, lunches, recess and just being present in the school. Completing the 2 days in each of the buildings has been a wonderful experience that I will repeat in the future.

Friendly reminder there is no school on Monday, January 15, 2024 for the observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Great to be at the Howard School today for "How to Keep Our Students Safe on Social Media" presentations for grades 5 and 6. Thank you to the WB PTO for sponsoring. The information is excellent and well-presented. Reminder about the parent session tonight at the MSHS

Superintendent in Residence - THANK YOU to the Rose L MacDonald staff and students for being such gracious hosts as I spent Tuesday and Wednesday in the building. It was so great to be there from arrival to dismissal and be in classrooms, lunches, recess and observe all the great things happening in the school. Earlier in November I spent 2 days at the MSHS and later this month I will spend 2 days at the Howard School.

Just a reminder to all WB students and staff to ROCK YOUR SOCKS tomorrow!!
