Team Columbia
Average is OFFICIALLY over!
Mid-Quarter is Near
Team Columbia:
Mid-Quarter Progress Reports are due to go home on Monday, November 14. Please ensure that your grades are current. Remember, at least two grades per week should be posted. Also, please remember that their should be at least 4 summative assessments by the end of the quarter. By now, you should have at least had one, maybe two.
Also, thanks for attending the Departmental PLCs last week. There were some robust conversations from several departments. Our goal is continuous improvement. Please review the data that was shared and continue the conversations within your departments on how you can contribute to our goals. Remember, be solution oriented.
As we set out to exercise our constitutional right to vote on Tuesday, let us pause and be thankful for those that sacrificed and fought for that freedom. As we are set to celebrate them on Friday, we say thanks to all of our current military personnel and veterans for your service.
Have a great week of teaching and learning!!!
