New ABSchools.org WebsiteOn Monday, September 15, we launched our new ABSchools.org website. I want to thank our Director of Technology, Amy Bisiewicz, for her work on this project this summer.
Classroom Visits
I enjoyed visiting the Science Department at ABRHS, some 7th Grade classrooms at RJGrey, and the Blanchard Elementary K-3 classes.
Numerous school-based events are occurring throughout the district, including Open Houses, playground ribbon cutting, and family picnics. It is always a meaningful experience to see the school environment through the perspective of your student. We sincerely appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedules to attend and engage in these important community events.

Please join us for our virtual Welcome Back Community Coffee on Monday, September 22 at 8:30 a.m. We've adjusted the time as Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on this day. We look forward to having you join us via Zoom to hear updates and ask questions of the chair and me.
