October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a time to highlight the importance of safeguarding online activity from harmful cyber attacks. Each Friday this month, we'll share tips to help our students, staff, and families secure their sensitive data and stay safe online. Tip #4: Never leave your devices unattended, even for a short time. Always secure your laptop, tablet, phone, or flash drive so no one else can use it while you're away. And while you're at it, tidy up your desk to ensure no passwords, account details, or important files are sitting out openly exposed. You'll leave with peace of mind AND a clean workspace! We hope you've found these tips helpful. To learn more about Cybersecurity Awareness Month, visit www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-awareness-month.

Our “Better Together” mural is finally completed! This project was a labor of love, made possible by our EWVCF grant and the artistic eyes of Mrs. Fox, Ms. Polen and Mrs. Fiolek. Mrs. Payne and I were on “installation duty” and learned how to tile on the spot. ;) Our students created the tiles in honor of us being back “in person” in school. The idea behind the mural was that each one of us is unique and special. When we come together, we can create a beautiful picture.
Well done, Roadrunners!!!
I love it!

National School Bus Safety Week is underway! Thank you to the bus drivers, mechanics, and all the behind the scenes administrators that get our students to and from school safely every day.
We are celebrating our school leaders this month! Principals are among the hardest working, yet often least recognized individuals in education. Principals set the academic tone for their schools, and it is their vision, dedication, and determination that provide the mobilizing force for achieving student success. We are so grateful for our principals who step up every day for our students and staff.
