We are all working hard getting ready for distance learning this year! I hope your families are safe, healthy, and had some relaxation over the “summer break.” During the three weeks I had off for my summer vacation I enjoyed spending time with my family, tried not to think about and start planning for our school year (I wasn’t successful at that one), and worked on the latest “Imboden Family Project” which is restoring stand up jet-skis from the 90’s (which are turning out pretty awesome). I am looking forward to this school year and most importantly seeing our students back in our buildings when this distance learning is over!-4318010414000Committed to Excellence, Tara Imboden, Principal Virtual Teacher Classroom Orientation: Next Wednesday, August 19th, our teachers will be hosting virtual classroom orientations for all their students.
