Richard - you have immediately raised the bar for clear and consistent communication in all aspects of the OSSM position! Thanks for pushing us to tighten our systems, and being quick to reach out to students and staff with updates and concerns. You rock!

An appreciation of the journey...

Dennis - I want to appreciate how you've navigated all of the change to this building you've had to navigate. You have (somehow) managed to maintain a sense of humor, and a sensitivity to teachers' needs throughout the hurricane-level winds of change! Glad to be on your team.
