Last Week:
- The 4th grade team met with me to discuss the effects of our "2 class bubble". Thank you Jessica for agreeing to make the move to third grade.
- The COT team met and discussed creating a vision for moving our team forward. We have embraced the theme of "Igniting the passion for teaching and learning" as our theme for the new year. We spent some time discussing some initial goals. My big take away from the two sessions is that we have a number of outstanding professionals with a diverse skill set that are willing to be reflective and take on a leadership role in addressing obstacles and making our school the best possible setting for teachers and students. I am really looking forward to seeing this group plan and establish a scope and sequence for our work as a whole team in the 18-19 school year!
- Retention BEST was completed.
