*Teacher Who Makes a Difference Nominations:
It's that time of year where we get to choose a Teacher Who Makes a Difference. You all make a difference in the lives of kids, but this teacher will be recognized by the ACSA at a virtual celebration. Please submit your nomination here with a brief explanation. Thank you. Please complete by Friday, 3.15.24 @ 3pm. 

*Teacher Intent:
Teachers: I would like everyone to start thinking about next year and your position at Orchard Ranch.  If any changes are made it is to comply with district staffing numbers and to maximize our strengths and knowledge to support all of our students.  I am in support of teachers challenging themselves and moving out of their comfort zone as a way to grow professionally and to most effectively challenge our students.

Please fill out this intent form and return it by Monday, March 11th by 3pm.  This is not a guaranteed change, but it will help me in making a decision about staffing for the benefit of our students.


**Please remember to check the LIVE Google Calendar as dates/times are subject to change.
