PARTNERSHIP! When one student succeeds, we all succeed!
"To any parent who is listening right now: I'm here to tell you that this is a partnership. Educating every single child in @SimiValleyUSD--it truly does take all of us to do so." Hear from Simi's new superintendent @hanijyoussef in this week's episode: buzzsprout.com/396817/110186…
