SAIL Family,

Did you know April is Autism Awareness/Acceptance Month? Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. According to the CDC, autism affects an estimated 1 in 36 children across the United States today.

Tuesday, April 4 - National School Librarian Day

Your school librarian does so many things each day that you may never know have happened…all with a smile on her face.

Research has shown that an effective school librarian who is able to curate a collection, collaborate with faculty, teach developing readers, as well as organize school programming can impact a school’s grade by one full level. Take the time to show some love and appreciation to our school media specialist, Emily Bell! thank you emails, cards, or even a smile and verbal thanks are all appreciated!


Wednesday, April 5 - Cap & Gown Retakes
Any seniors who needed to retake cap & gown photos will be allowed to do so on Wednesday, April 5. If you have questions, contact our main office during office hours and we will be happy to assist!
