     This section of my web-page is dedicated solely to our responsibilities as partners for this school year.  Following, you will find guidelines to make this school year productive.  We have a long journey ahead of us, but by adhering to the policies and procedures outlined, our excursion should be smooth, but adventurous.  Please take the time to read through this information and refer to it often.

     Again, it is my pleasure to be guiding you!
