Staff Development Day

Thanks to a generous donation, we will be holding an in-service Staff Development Day on Friday, May 10, 2024, for all hourly and salaried staff. We are fortunate to have a day that supports both our personal and professional development. With that said, you will not report to your work space on this day. Instead, you will join the Staff Council and other colleagues in a dynamic schedule of events based on staff feedback to bring us together in community and fun.
