As an educator, and with the contract I signed for the school, I follow state codes
and legal requirements for the safety of my students. I am still learning about the
school, the environment, the staff, and the community, but as a teacher, I uphold
these responsibilities. 9.22.20

I would say that I am still in this area because I follow rules and regulations
of the school. With this being my first year at this school, I have not
contributed to the community here yet. I am hoping to start doing this next
year by joining a committee or some sort of extracurricular activity. 5.5.21
