Trantwood Times
"For the Love of Learning!"
It's not good bye, it's see ya later! Meredith, we wish you all the best in your new job!
I Make a Difference
I would like to pass the “ I Make a Difference Award,” to Sue Jerasa. Coming to a new school can be daunting, especially when you are also new to a position. Mrs. Jerasa never skipped a beat and has showed me the ropes from Destiny to Trantwood routines. She greets each student that comes into the library, can pull books faster than lightening and is the resident laminating queen! She ensures that the Maker Space has all the materials needed and the kids know how to use them. The love that she has for the students and Trantwood are evident in her actions that she performs daily. Thank you Sue for making a difference in the lives of the Trantwood Students and Staff!

2018-2019 ESSENTIAL SESSIONS-TRANSFORMING MATHEMATICS THROUGH COMPUTATIONAL FLUENCY
Computational fluency refers to having flexible, efficient and accurate methods for computing. Students exhibit computational fluency when they demonstrate strategic thinking and flexibility in the computational methods they choose, understand and can explain and produce accurate answers efficiently. Math specialists will receive license renewal points by monitoring progress for teachers within their respective buildings.
The essential PLP session will not have a make-up date because it will be a course in Schoology where teachers will be responsible for submitting all necessary coursework in order to receive license renewal points. The final submission date is April 5, 2019.
Questions may be directed to Johanna Ortiz, elementary mathematics coordinator, in the Department of Teaching and Learning, by phone at 263-1465 or email at johanna.ortiz@vbschools.com. Thank you
