Good afternoon Shepherd families,

On Monday, April 18, students are to take the easy to use, at-home test and follow the instructions provided. Families may choose to utilize your own testing option, but tests administered before April 18 will not be accepted.

Upload your test results the same day. Provide proof of your test results to dcpsreopenstrong.com/safereturn by Monday, April 18 at 9 PM.

Coming out of Spring Break, I have some important staffing announcements:

Ms. Scott will be the new Shepherd librarian for SY22-23. 

Mr. Morris will be the CES teacher for grades 3-5.

Ms. Zepeda is back as of today!!!!!

Ms. Deane will teach Art for the remainder of this school year. 

Ms. Hernandez will teach Spanish for the rest of the school year.

Mr. Hernandez is on leave.

AP Phillips will not be returning as Assistant Principal next year. Thank you for your service to our community.

We are almost fully staffed for next school year. We are still in search of a custodian and 6 instructional aides for our CES classrooms.

Thank you for your support,

Principal Hedlund
