Dear Kindergarten Parent,
It is with heavy heart that I write to inform you that Mrs. Joni Peterson has resigned as the White City Schools Kindergarten teacher.
In the meantime, we will have a substitute teacher in the classroom and learning will continue. We are searching for a replacement teacher to fill this vacancy as soon as possible. Please bear with us in the meantime as we will do our best to maintain the learning environment for your Kindergarten student.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call me at the school 785-349-2211 or feel free to email me at dgriffiths@usd481.com.
Sincerely,
Darlene Griffiths
