As we head into the end-of-year LEAP/DIBELS testing, these ladies will have fulfilled their obligations. We thank them for working diligently with our students during the state-mandated W.I.N. time within the master schedule. We greatly appreciate their support towards our school-wide academic goals and hope to partner in the future.” – Ms. Copeland, Principal
