In case you missed Weaver's message on 3/21/24:
Dear Viking Families,
I wanted to reach out to you personally to inform you about an upcoming change after Spring Break. Starting April 2, 2024, I will be taking a medical leave due to hip surgery. However, rest assured that plans are in place to ensure the continued smooth operation of our school during my absence.
I am pleased to announce that Mrs. Stacy Cashman will be stepping in as a temporary replacement. Mrs. Cashman comes with over 30 years of experience in education, with a strong background in middle school settings. I have full confidence in Mrs. Cashman's abilities to support our school and staff during this period. Mrs. Cashman will be joining the Viking family on April 2, 2024.
During my absence, if you need any assistance or have any concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Cashman, Mrs. Pomerantz (A-L), Mr. Kiunke (M-Z) or the main office at 805-520-6820. They will be more than happy to assist you in any way they can.
I want to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude for your understanding and support during my upcoming surgery and recovery. Your unwavering support means the world to me, and I'm confident that with Mrs. Cashman's help, everything will continue to run smoothly in my absence.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
Warm regards,
Mrs. Weaver
