We do have a plan in place for all students to get your belongings out of your lockers, PE lockers, return books and chromebooks. Please be patient. We will let you know when as soon as possible. If your family has suffered a change in housing due to economic issues, the Palm Beach County School District offers help for homeless students through the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. Please email your current housing status to [email protected]. Hey, Bulls! We are winding down the school year, probably the weirdest school year on record, right? It was a joy for me to work with so many of you, individually in my office and in various classrooms that invited me. I do need to remind you that I am here until the last day of school. If you need anything between now and then, just reach out to me - my email address is [email protected] - if you think you need some help during the summer months, email me now and we'll work on finding something for you. Arthur Ashe said it well: "Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can."
