A Message from the Principal
Dear Greeley Families,
This week, our teachers will be engaged in our triannual data meetings. During these meetings, teachers review student work samples, social-emotional/behavioral data, and assessment data to develop actions plans. These meetings occur by grade and include members of our related arts team, interventionists, and coaches, among others.
Just as our teachers must respond to emerging needs and successes within their individual classrooms, so to must the whole school and greater district. These meetings occur prior to our February parent-teacher conferences to help our staff further prepare the best way to tell the story of our students. We are eager to welcome our families into our school in a few weeks for conferences!
Sincerely,
Joshua Swanner
Principal
