It was back to school for teachers on Monday, Aug. 2, and the PTA provided breakfast treats from Panera for the welcome-back preplanning event.

Principal Agathe Alvarez gave small gifts to the teachers, introduced the PTA officers and discussed the upcoming 2021-22 school year. The theme will be “We’re going to keep going and keep growing.”

“Social-emotional learning has come to the forefront,” Alvarez said.

It is as important as educational learning, she said, this year will be about making the students comfortable and keeping safety measures in place.

Becky Worsham Farrant, PTA president, said the goal of the organization is to build community. Upcoming events include Meet the Teacher on Friday, a parent breakfast on the first day of school and a Spirit Night Aug. 25 at Tijuana Flats.
