Message from the Leadership Team
The first day of school is one of the most optimistic days of the school year. It’s a new start. A new chapter. A new chance to engage with students and colleagues. Within the first thirty minutes of class on Wednesday we had approximately two hundred students situated in class engaging with their instructors. When students are provided with rigorous learning opportunities, they are fully engaged and more likely to retain and utilize the content.
As you kick off this week think about how you will build the connection with your students and the community in your class. Most importantly have fun engaging your students. Thank you for all that you do for our students!
