Anderson 3 Administration had a blast at the 6th Annual A3 Admin Retreat! The theme of this year's retreat was "Reset." Administrators heard from Mrs. Hipp and the President of United Way of Anderson County Mrs. Carol Burdette while also collaborating on "Reset" tactics for the new school year. To close out the retreat, everyone broke off into teams and bowled in two very competitive rounds! 🎳
We are required to provide a document outlining specific areas for a safe return to in-person instruction for the 2021-2022 school year.
