From Principal Norvell's Desk
Happy New Year Mighty WBS Dolphins! I hope that 2017 is exceeding your expectations thus far; I know it is for me. This month finds us in the throes of mid-year assessments otherwise known as benchmarks. Please encourage your sons and daughters to take their time and to do their best. Mid-year assessments are used to provide lots of good data for our teachers. The data gives us a better idea of where students are academically, so that we may target and plan accordingly. Thanks for your support in that!
Also, throughout the month of January, our character focus is integrity. C.S. Lewis defines integrity as doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. There may not be an area of character focus more critically important than that. Make sure to ask your children about integrity, and for that matter, all the other things they’re learning at school. I hope they respond with abundant enthusiasm!
See you all at the “Winter Fund Raiser”, and of course thanks for sharing your children with us!
Take care,
Jackson
