Longfellow Newsletter
Week of: September 9th- 15th
Every Student Counts, Every Moment Matters!
A Message from Principal Webb
We are adjusting to more of a routine and working hard to do our best to be Safe, Supportive and Responsible. Please continue to encourage your student to stay 'above the line' by following the common area and classroom expectations. Our common area focus for this week is the hallway.
Another thing I want to highlight for this week is our staff professional learning. On Thursdays, the district releases students early to provide teacher professional learning. Longfellow teachers have had the opportunity to learn about 'best practice' on small group reading instruction.
Sincerely,
Kelli Webb
