Literacy
The past few years, CSISD has hosted “Literacy Palooza,” a summer professional development series centered around Reader’s and Writer’s Workshop, vocabulary instruction and other literacy instructional methods. This year, “Literacy Palooza” will become “Learning Palooza,” which will be focused around building content-area literacy. Kids read and write in all subject areas, so how can you best support their growth in your content area and in literacy? Math, Social Studies, Science and ELA teachers--Please make plans to attend “Learning Palooza” this summer! No matter what subject area you teach, there will be something for you!

Teachers please maintain the magnificent vigilance you have had all year long. Make sure doors are always locked and propped open if needed. Look out for ID badges and confront anyone who does not have one visible. Be at your doors during class transitions.
Keep up the good work!
