- The first round of MAP reading and math testing is complete. We learned a lot about the process and the Comet Time planning committee learned how to pull the data to help guide our classroom instruction as well as to support TAS and GGS Comet Time groups.
GGS and TAS groups starting soon! Look for more information in the very near future!
- Our remembrance of 9/11 extended beyond our school-wide reflections during morning announcements to include classroom discussions about the differences in our country pre and post 9/11. #NeverForget
- Picture days went well - :) Thanks to the Yearbook staff for your help.
- 10 secondary campus students are enrolled in our Crestwood Virtual Academy. One of our staff is serving as their Academic Facilitator to increase connections between our brick and mortar and cyberlearning opportunities.
