South School Therapy Dog
Today the Kindergarten - 2nd grade students had the first Tribal Council of the new school year. Mr. Heafner taught the students about Marti, the therapy dog. Students learned about Marti's weekly routine that Mr. Heafner has to help her with in order to be able to be around the students at school and what is expected of the students when they are around Marti.

Thank you for being patient as we use teacherease for the first time to announce homeroom teachers. What we've learned is that the app isn't cooperating! If you go to the actual teacherease website via phone or computer and click on 'Grades' it should work! Thank you to those parents who have reached out to help fix the problem!

Homeroom assignments for South School's K - 2 students will be posted on www.teacherease.com at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, August 2!
