After dismissal tomorrow, please join Diann in the staff room
tomorrow for cake, as we wish her well in her new career endeavor.

of our Core Values is “Make our schools the best choice for parents and

way to make Keystone a great place is by hiring staff members above the talent
threshold. We currently have the following staff positions open:
· TIR (5 positions)
· Registrar
· School Ambassador
If
you know someone who would be interested in the following positions, please
have them apply at www.nhacareers.com.

Staff Dress Code
As the
weather starts to get warmer, I wanted to remind everyone of our dress code. Our
staff handbook states,
“The staff dress code is business casual. Jeans, t-shirts, tank tops, sweatshirts,
tennis shoes, flip flops, and the like are not acceptable business
casual attire.”
You
may wear sandals, but they must have a strap on the back. Sleeveless shirts
and/or dresses are acceptable, but majority of your shoulders must be covered;
no thin straps. Thank you for being role models to our students.
