Congratulations, January Above the Line winners!
Superintendent Dr. Roland Hernandez recently announced the January 2023 Above the Line employees. Three honorees were surprised at their work locations with the announcement they had been seleceted. Do you know an employee who goes Above the Line? Nominate them!
Miss Perez always goes above and beyond for all her coworkers, students and parents. She recently coordinated a successful Educational Learning Fair, which had attendance of more than 1,000 people. She will drop everything to counsel a child in need. She is calm, caring and patient with students who need her guidance.
James Garcia, Fine Arts Specialist
Mr. Garcia saw an opportunity to showcase the incredible talent of students before the holidays and developed a plan to ensure they were seen and heard. A colleague noted they saw many smiles on students’ faces as they performed in the Administration Building. Thanks to James, students had the opportunity to share their musical talents and provide joy to employees.
Jessica Fancher, Barnes Elementary School Instructional Paraprofessional
Miss Fancher takes car duty Above the Line. She dresses up as a traffic cone to get the students and parents laughing, which helps during morning drop off. She is always the first to ask how she can help when it comes to cafeteria duty or campus events. She goes out of her way to make sure students participate and gain experiences from school events.
