Welcome Back and QR Codes!

Welcome Back Fairfield District #112!  It is an exciting time this time of year.  We have had lots of changes around the district this year.  One majoy change is that we have a new principal at Northsdie, Mr. England.  I have my own office this year at Northside and I will include picture soon.  Last night was our Sneak Peak night for grades K-8 and we had lots of excited children and parents come through our doors.  I will be sending a post card home with my classroom groups at Northside in the next couple of weeks but I have also included it in this post as well.  I have made a QR code that when you scan it links directly to my blog, (which I am super pumped about)!  I am looking forward to a great school year and lots of fun!  Can't wait to see all of you tomorrow!

Resources for Students and Parents

As a school social worker resources are one item that you are asked about most. I have completed my own list of resources that I use most often as well as downloaded a couple lists that are available online for the Southern Illinois region. Hopefully this will help some parents, students, and maybe even teachers in our district.
