I plan to visit each school and spend the entire day visiting the classes and have the opportunity to listen to our students, teachers, and staff.
Therefore, it is our responsibility to provide each student with learning opportunities through a variety of activities and a curriculum that is intensive and challenging.
The M.S.A.D. #49 community believes that all students can learn.
