Administrative Message
Owl Family,
What a wonderful time our scholars and their parents had Friday at the carnival. You guys were a tremendous success. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. We hope you got a chance to visit all the booths and the haunted hallway upstairs. What a treat! Scholars ad their families also got a chance to enjoy some great food.
This is the last week of the six weeks. Scholars will be taking common assessments. During that time please continue to aggressively monitor. Ensure that all students are completing their answer documents properly and receiving the necessary accommodations. In an effort to adequately provide a conducive test environment for all students, please collaborate with those teachers whose class you are assigned to test.
These past few weeks we have challenged each and everyone of you to set six week goals. We have taken a deep dive into what students should know and what student mastery looks and sounds like. As we continue on this journey of providing good first instruction and increasing student achievement, we are all pushing and performing to the next level. Please don't ever forget...
