✨ Today marked our first professional development of the school year! ✨ Our team gained valuable tools to support and engage families as we prepare to welcome them into the school system. We had an exciting day learning about restorative practices, exploring strategies to strengthen implementation, and getting familiar with the new Chipmunk Bus App to better assist families. 💡🚍 We are ready for a great year ahead! 🎉
