Welcome Back!
Hello Hawk Students and Families!
It's with much joy I get to share some personal news. My husband and I are expecting our first babies into our family, two boys in February! It has been an interesting school year to be teaching from home, also not having the opportunity to see students and families in person. Most students may know or remember this news as it was originally shared back in October. I can't believe how fast the time has passed till this point! In order for me to take care of my health and my family, I will be taking Maternity Leave from January 19th through the end of the school year. I will miss getting to see your students' faces everyday, and hope to pop in and say hello from time to time. I plan to be back next school year in August!
Thank you for a great year thus far!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Diaz
