We know you all have LOTS of NTI packets...attached is a chart with due dates! If your student is struggling to complete their NTI packets, information is being sent home with some dates for after school NTI support! ❤️💙
Happy FRYSC Week! FRYSC stands for Family Resource and Youth Service Center. Family Resource Centers serve elementary students and Youth Service Centers serve middle and high school students. Did you know that there are 961 Family Resource and Youth Service Centers in the state of Kentucky?! Their purpose? To bring together their school, families, and community partners! To remove non-academic barriers! To make their school the best it can be!
At Sherman Elementary, I (Mrs. Hamilton) have been Family Resource Center Coordinator for 6.5 years. My favorite FRC programs are Afterschool Art and Garden Club - both being creative and growing plants are passions of mine! I love Sherman Elementary and look forward to working with staff and students here daily. ❤️🐎💙
