What a privilege it was to welcome 10 new members to the Academy team. With new staff joining for the roles of classroom teachers, support staff, an assistant principal, and teacher’s aides, we’re looking forward to a fantastic school year. Over this week, the Academy team has worked diligently to prepare classrooms, set goals, learn more about how Shepherd Community Center fulfills its mission, and examine research-based teaching strategies to ensure a successful school year! We are prepared and ready for our students to arrive in our classrooms!
