In addition to her attendance duties, Wengert also processes interim reports and report cards, as well as all of the grade corrections, according to the AACPS website.
Pickard, after starting as PTA secretary a little over a year at Oakwood Elementary, has taken the lead on several projects for the PTA and encouraged involvement of other volunteers.
