ALB Friday Focus
Week of September 10-14
- What do we want students to know? (GSE Standards)
- How will we know when they have learned it? (assessments)
- What will we do when they haven't learned it? (remediation)
- What will we do when they already know it? (enrichment/acceleration/differentiation)
I believe in the (heart) work we are doing!
I am so proud to be your principal.

Darcey Ethridge planned an awesome Grandparents Day--we hosted over 300 guests and lunch went so smoothly!
The Diversity Committee has created some beautiful displays in our cases across from the media center in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month.
What I'm Reading
"Effective collaboration is not always easy. It brings with it a measure of difficulty and even of discomfort on occasion. Effective collaborations operate in the world of ideas, examining existing practices critically, seeking better alternatives and working hard together at bringing about improvements and assessing their worth."
