Approximately 750 new employees, including 610 teachers, participated in the district’s annual New Staff Orientation on Aug. 13-14 at Cy Lakes HS and Cy Ridge HS. Participants took part in breakout sessions to help prepare them for their first day of school. The new staff members also had the opportunity to meet the school Board, Superintendent Dr. Henry and other district-level administrators.
