School Wide Enrichment Is underway!
All students participate in School Wide Enrichment. Students are formally organized in small group clusters based on learning inventory results. The interest inventory results drive session planning and student assignments. Each enrichment group will meet for 6 sessions and produces an outcome that is related to the group’s focus. I had a great time visiting some of the sessions in action!
