Hello Birdneck Family,
We have a short week with voting and teacher conference day coming up tomorrow and Veteran's Day being recognized on Friday. As the quarter comes to an end is a great time for you to reflect on what has been going well in your classrooms and what you would like to improve. Students should also be reviewing and monitoring the goals you helped them set in the beginning of the year. We will continue to focus on small group instruction and meeting the needs of all students as we begin the second quarter. Data days have been set and I look forward to our teams analyzing data to start planning for remediation and enrichment. I hope you all have a wonderful week.
Captain out,
RV Yoshida
