One Goal; One Way: The Gill Way
Greetings Bulldog Team,
Welcome to Week 202Bulldogs! This is week 3.4 of the 3rd grading period!!
To begin with, I would like to shoutout our Reading Teachers who we visited for an Amplify walk with Carver Elementary, our Holdsworth partners! The walk was very engaging and lots of great feedback was provided. A special thank you to Mr. Rodriguez, Mrs. Howard, & Ms. Godfrey as well as our students Abel, Edwin, Anaya, and Adrian for sitting on our Holdsworth panel! You all did a great job!
Below remains our last piece of feedback from our Executive Director, Mr. Bott! Remember we are focused 100% on Amplify & Eureka during Tier 1 Instruction! During Tier 2 & 3 Instruction, let's ensure we are preparing our scholars for STAAR and reading fluency! Please check below for PLC information. We will resume our normal PLCs this week.
Lastly, I will be sharing data folders with grades 3-5 today. We will ensure you have your data folders for students this week as well for those who don't have them. Remember, if you have questions, let us know! I appreciate how we step up and work together as a team! One Goal, One Way: The Gill Way!
Your Bulldog Principal,
Chandra Roberson
