Roadrunner Roundup
Dear Roadrunner Families,
We have officially made it to the last week of school! Reflecting on the past several months, it has been an absolute joy to watch our students learn, grow, and build lasting memories. Thank you for partnering with us to make this an amazing year.
As we wrap up our final days together, please make note of our schedule for next week. Wednesday will be our last day of school, and it is a 2-hour early release day with dismissal promptly at 1:15 PM. Please ensure your family has dismissal plans arranged for this early time.
With the end of the school year, we are also preparing for some exciting transitions within our building for the upcoming school year. We want to share two staff adjustments so you can join us in celebrating these wonderful educators:
- Jennifer Hitchcock will be transitioning from her current role as our Advanced Academic teacher to become a 6th-grade teacher.
- Kristen Bryce, who has done a phenomenal job as our Math Resource teacher, will be stepping into the role of our new Advanced Academic teacher.
We are incredibly grateful for their continued dedication to the Little Run community and know they will both thrive in their new positions!
Thank you all for a spectacular school year.
Warmly,
Christie Yarn and Julia Haywood
