Keith Jamison
Staff Spotlight
In this week's staff spotlight, we're privileged to shine a light on Mr. Jamison, our dedicated In-School Suspension (ISS) teacher, whose commitment to our students' well-being and growth is commendable.
Despite the challenging nature of his role, Mr. Jamison approaches each day with compassion and determination, ensuring that every student under his care feels valued and supported. With a keen understanding of the complexities of adolescent behavior, Mr. Jamison excels in resolving conflicts with patience and empathy, fostering a positive and inclusive atmosphere within the ISS environment. His ability to connect with students on a personal level and guide them toward constructive solutions sets a shining example for our school community. We are incredibly grateful for Mr. Jamison's unwavering dedication to nurturing not only academic success but also our students' social and emotional development.

D&D Club
Did you catch the D&D bug thanks to Stranger Things, but struggled to find a group to join? Perhaps you were already familiar but faced the same issue - getting people together regularly can be challenging. Maybe you're totally new to Dungeons and Dragons and just need the right opportunity to give it a try!
Exciting news for all of you – Mrs. Riddle is planning to kick off an afterschool D&D club. If you're interested, please fill out the linked form. Completing the survey does not commit you to sign up; it simply helps us gather information to gauge potential interest. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to see Mrs. Riddle in classroom D2. With enough responses, we can progress to the next steps and start scheduling official meetings.
