CUSTODIAL SERVICES
Breakfast with our Custodians
The custodial services department has had the privilege of having breakfast with
the superintendent as well as other members of the administration team. Many
topics have been discussed to include the work calendar. Most importantly we
have taken the opportunity to thank the staff for everything they have done at
their respective campuses throughout the year dating back to the beginning of
the pandemic, the snow storm and the vaccine drives to name a few. Custodians
truly are the Unsung Heroes of our campuses and for that I thank you all.
