Titan Staff News!
Week of Sept 2
What a Week!
Titans,
Thank you for a great first week of classes! Each classroom that I visited had students working and learning from the very first moment. I applaud you for your ability to smoothly transition our students back into "work" mode and to set the expectations high. Thank you for committing to our students. Each day we will strive to be 1% better!
You all make me proud,
Kim

In the Clasrooms!
Ron, Steve and I have been out walking classrooms and man, we are impressed! You all are doing a great job of working to set up your rituals and routines. Remember, that is an integral part of the first few weeks of school. Once those routines are established, your classroom will run smoothly. If you haven't done so already, submit your Rituals and Routines grid to your PDAS appraiser.
Take a look at some of the great things we spotted!
