Opening a school for a new school year? It truly takes a village… and apparently, a few of our staff members’ sons! 😂💪

These guys jumped in to deliver backpacks 📚, haul reading curriculum materials 📖, and even tackle some yard work 🌿. @JacksonRoadAP @velasquez_mcps

Yesterday during ILT & today during our CS PD, I shared this summer’s #languagestories parent meeting. A session that was a key takeaway from the @IELconnects
#CSxFE26 conference that my principal & I attended in May. I hope our teachers and CS staff put this to use.

[Gloria @GloriaJCSL]

Our #languagestoriestree is ready for some leaves. Hope you join us for our next parent meeting. Can’t wait to hear your language story and learn more about your dreams, values and who and what connects us. @HHESHUSKIES #buildingcommunity #buildingrelationships
