Principal’s Report - There is new state regulation from the Ethics Commision regarding gifts received by public employees. In short, teachers must disclose, in writing, gifts valued greater than $50. A class gift must not exceed $150 within the course of the school year. The intent is to limit favoritism as a result of a received gift.
Chestnut Hill Studios was chosen this year for school photos. They did a great job working with the staff to get the best smiles possible. They will be back in April for an optional spring photo shoot.
