Employee Retirement& Longevity Recognition

To our amazing colleagues,

I want to say a heart-felt “Thank You” for your years of service and everything you all have done to support our students and our district. Whether you are in the classroom, keeping our schools clean, feeding our students, stocking our warehouse or providing support for our staff, your work is noticed and appreciated. This year was especially challenging with all we had to do to transform how we teach and do the work of the district. You have my deepest appreciation for remaining focused on and achieving our Strategic Plan goals in spite of all the changes.

For those of you who are retiring, I congratulate you for your years of service and wish you all the best for your future endeavors! For our employees who have reached service milestones, I thank you for all of your hard work and I’m looking forward to your continued dedication as we all strive to make our students future ready!

I appreciate all of you! You make me WPSProud every day!

Sincerely,
