Spotlight on General School Assistants (GSAs)

Each week we highlight feedback from our teachers and families about the support they receive from our General School Assistants (GSAs). 2nd grade parent Sheli Hadari tells us:

Mr. Joe has been meeting with my daughter every day to support her in reading fluency. She looks forward to their meetings. It has been very successful.

Did you know our biggest investment as a PTSA is funding more General School Assistants to help our teachers and students? Funding comes from parents and community members, through direct donations, corporate matching, and opportunities like Amazon Smile and "Give with Bing". Read more about GSAs on the PTSA website!
