Staff Pledge:
"We recognize that the fundamental purpose of our school and the reason we come to work each day is to ensure all students learn at high levels. We Understand that helping all students learn requires a collective, collaborative effort rather than a series of isolated efforts. We will work in teams to inform and improve individual and collective practices and to better meet the needs of individual students through intervention and extension."

Safety Drills
- Keep all classroom and Pod doors locked at all times

- Use Slack to report where you are and how many students you have with you (let me know if you are missing someone)
- If you are in the hallway and can't make it to a sheltered location leave out of the closes exit and head to the fire station
If you are "kidnapped"
- read the script
- immediately call the front office and give a description
- get your class to safety (close the door, pull the blind)
Notes from the fire drill: we cleared the building in 1 minute 26 seconds --GREAT JOB!

Fantastic Week! Let's keep this momentum going by continuing to remind the students about CORE and practicing expectations when students do not meet your desired outcomes. #wearethekey
Our PLC Journey...
We will achieve this outcome by learning together about the best practices proven to increase student learning, applying what we have learned, and using evidence of student learning to make decisions and revisions in practice to help even more students learn at higher levels.
Four Critical Questions
- What do we want our students to know and be able to do?
- How will we know when they have learned it?
- What will we do when they haven't learned it?
- What will we do to extend the learning when they already know it?
When we meet in our collaborative teams, we will focus on these four critical questions.
