New teachers were welcomed in an orientation at the district’s high school prior to the start of the school year. During the program, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Rose Linda Ricca spoke to the enthusiastic new teachers about the most effective ways to have an impact on students and led discussions about responsibilities, expectations and basic elements of instruction. The purpose of the orientation was to acquaint the new teachers with the expectations and core values of the district, as well as introduce them to the technologies and resources available for them, and their students, to succeed.
