Jill Silton, Literacy Specialist and AVID Coordinator at South Lakes: At the direction of our administration at South Lakes High School, I have been assisting with personal outreach to some of our senior students who left school on March 12 with significant work still to do to meet graduation requirements. My role in this outreach has been to connect directly with families to ensure they are aware that teachers are "at the ready" to assist students and provide them with opportunities to achieve the necessary learning tasks to fulfill graduation requirements. Our message has been: we're here to help and support - keep working! We want you to succeed! Without fail, parents have been appreciative of these personal calls - it's what we do in the green and blue: connect and care for one another. I am proud to be part of a school community in which all of us are rooting for every student's success.
