Welcome our new choir director, Corey Swann!

Announcing another new J.O. Kelly Knight! Coach Tyler Hill is coming from Elmdale Elementary and volunteer coaching at SHS. We are excited to welcome him to middle school.

Welcome Angela Mankins to the Kelly family!

Excited to announce another one of our stellar long term substitutes is officially back full time in the fall! Mrs. Raiford did wonderful work with our English Language Learners this past year, and she will be working as an interventionist this coming year.

Taryn Duncan came in clutch as a long term substitute last fall. With a smile on her face and encouraging words to all, she helped students drastically improve their reading this year. We are so happy to have her back as a full time staff member for the upcoming year!

Exciting news! Mrs. Stjerna is officially official!

Everyone welcome the newest Kelly Knight!

You know the drill: Remote Learning again tomorrow, Friday, February 19th. Teachers will be sending zoom links for the required live sessions, and all other work will be posted in Google Classroom.

This week has been a challenging week on many fronts but there has also been a lot of good! Let’s give a shout out to the over 150 custodial and maintenance staff who worked around the clock to keep our buildings in top shape!They worked on frozen pipes, clearing parking lots and sidewalks, plowed snow and maintained the HVAC units. Let’s give a shout out to the Principals and teachers from each building who worked to connect with each family ensuring safety and educational enrichment during this time. We had some fun this week! We loved seeing all the pictures of how families combined education with snow time fun. Tomorrow, Friday February 19 will be a remote teaching and learning day. Let’s finish this week strong, with positive energy and take the time to say thank you and encouraging words to each other. This is what make our community great! Esta semana ha sido una semana desafiante en muchos frentes, ¡pero también ha sido muy bueno! ¡Demos un saludo a los más de 150 conserjes y personal de mantenimiento que trabajaron las veinticuatro horas del día para mantener nuestros edificios en óptimas condiciones! Trabajaron en tuberías congeladas, despejaron estacionamientos y aceras, quitaron nieve y mantuvieron las unidades de HVAC. Demos un saludo a los directores y maestros de cada edificio que trabajaron para conectarse con cada familia para garantizar la seguridad y el enriquecimiento educativo durante este tiempo. ¡Nos divertimos un poco esta semana! Nos encantó ver todas las imágenes de cómo las familias combinaban la educación con la diversión en la nieve. Mañana viernes 19 de febrero será un día de enseñanza y aprendizaje a distancia. Terminemos esta semana fuertes, con energía positiva y tomémonos el tiempo para agradecer y animarnos mutuamente. ¡Esto es lo que hace que nuestra comunidad sea excelente!
