SPIRIT AWARD
CONGRATULATIONS to Caitlin Irvin for earning the Spirit Award at TJD! Caitlin is our new Social Worker and she has been working tirelessly getting to know the students and developing a relationship with each student. She is supportive of all the staff and has worked collaboratively with the administrative team to develop a first class program. She is open to suggestions and works hard to make sure all the students' needs are being met.
She has a smile on her face every day and has a calming personality for the students.
We are so THANKFUL for Caitlin on our TEAM!

We miss our students already and can't wait to see you again in August. Make sure to mark your calendars for the 2025-2026 Open Houses. Parents, you can bring school supplies to the Open Houses so your students don't have to carry everything in on the first day of school. #BePurple
