Food for Thought
"It is not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes a difference."--Bear Bryant
Campus Improvement Goal of the Week
Analyze individual testing data; disaggregate data and develop improvement strategies in the area of reading and writing.
Our English teachers will use the writing benchmark to expose students to the writing prompts, gauge abilities, and prepare for the push to April testing dates. Thank you for your help and support with the writing process.
