Hi Wildcats,
Thanks to each of you that participated in one form or another in our Digital Citizenship Week. Your attire sparked curiosity in better understanding the benefits (and pitfalls) that come with responsible digital citizenship.
Next week begins with our second Early Release Monday. This is followed by our final eight days of the first academic quarter. And even though every day is a new opportunity to include others, we want to remind all Wildcats that October is Disability History and Awareness Month. This is the perfect opportunity to reflect on how every Wildcat has something to offer our community and how we can include everyone in making our learning and culture of acceptance more vibrant.
Together We Grow,
Kelley and Matt
